Have You Ever Seen A Pumpkin Song & Video

This week we started working on making Mental Images and visualizing while we read. We started out with a familiar topic - pumpkins!

First students drew their mental images to 2 pumpkin songs we read and sang.

Then today as a class we created collaborative images for one of the songs using our iPads, Apple TV and projector. You'll notice that we used the details in the songs to create our pictures.

We were able to pass the iPad around and work on drawing the mental images in Doodle Buddy, while it was projected to our screen through the Apple TV. It was awesome! We love sharing, writing together and seeing all the action as it happens!

Then we used iMovie to add the images and record our song.

Here's the finished product ... We are all so proud!



Did you spy the round one, the tall one, the bumpy one and the squashed one?


PS - Here's what our rotting pumpkin looks like today (10/25). Lots of gross mold!
