All ready for our field trip tomorrow!

The children have worked so hard to complete their biographies about the life of Mrs. Jojo (Mrs. Kenney). We first split Mrs. Kenney's life into 5 "chapters." Then we developed our questions for each chapter of her life, we interviewed her, and we made a neat quilt that helped us make a complete picture of the information we gathered! As a class, we organized our information into 5 separate paragraphs. Our biographies turned out to be 3+ pages long! There were so many fun stories about her life that we just had to include. Once our biography was written, the children opened up the "Explain Everything" app on their iPads. We made a title page, followed by a chapter title page and a corresponding picture slide for each chapter! The children recorded their voice into each slide of their biography. The children grew comfortable adding slides, rearranging the order of their slides, adding text boxes, drawing, and recording and playing back their recordings. They learned how to save, name, and even email their project to me! I am so impressed with how well the children did on their projects! I am hoping to attach a link to each of the children's projects here on the blog... Fingers crossed! Now we are looking forward to see the performance of our biography of Mrs. Kenney's life tomorrow morning at the Metropolis!
