Second graders in Ms. Mills and Ms. Rojas classes were all a flutter this week as the witnessed the live metamorphosis of their classroom caterpillars. As the caterpillars went through the journey to become butterflies, the second graders used their cameras and Keynote to digitally chronicle the caterpillar's life cycle. To keep things hopping in Ms. Mills' class, one student per day was designated to use the Chirp App to send out the picture to her classmates. Chirp is a great way to share pictures, links, and notes through sound waves. In fact, when students needed to spell chrysalis, Ms. Mills used Chirp to send it as a note to the class and her students copied and pasted it right into their journals!
In Ms. Koller's class, photos and research data were organized into a slide show to demonstrate their experience and knowledge of the life cycle of the butterfly. To engage more active listening during each second grader's presentation, the audience was encouraged to share a positive thought on their iPads using Glow Draw or Draw Free. When the presenter was finished, his or her classmates held up a garden of compliments, helping our young scientists to blossom. Way to GROW second graders!
