COOL TEACHING

 After reviewing the blogs of my fellow participants, I was particularly inspired by the use of TimeToast in one of their projects So, after reading it, for my final class activity with 3-year-olds, we're going to use TimeToast but in a very simple and fun way. We'll make a "My Day" timeline. I'll ask four parents to come and help, so we have one adult for each little group. Each group will draw pictures of what they do in a day, like eating breakfast, playing, or reading a book. Then, we'll stick these pictures on a big piece of paper in the order they happen from morning to night. The parents will help the kids talk about their pictures and put them in the right order. At the end, each group will show their "My Day" timeline to the class. This will help the kids learn about routines and how to tell stories with pictures. They'll also get to practice talking in front of friends with help from the parents. It's going to be a fun way to learn

     Our Superhero Project Last year, I had a great time teaching second grade. We did something really fun and creative. We made our daily superheroes.  We love superheroes because they can do amazing things and have cool stories. So, we decided to make our own. Each student got to think of their very own superhero.  First, we talked about what makes a superhero special, like their powers and where they come from. Then, everyone started creating. They thought about what powers their superhero would have, what they would wear, and what their story was. It was exciting to see all the different ideas!  To share our superheroes, we used a cool tool called Genially. It let us make a fun presentation with pictures and stories about our superheroes. Everyone made a slide for their superhero, and it looked great! The best part was when we showed our superheroes to the class. Everyone got to stand up and tell us about their superhero. It was fun to see all the different heroes we thought up an

     HI! This activity about a super fun adventure we took on in our first-grade class. We dove into the world of storytelling with Storyjumper, and it was  greatª!! I want to Keep an eye out for some cool story links at the end! Organization:  Groups. We started by splitting up into small teams. I mixed things up so everyone had a friendthey could work well with, making sure every group had a little bit of everything – from storytellers to artists.*How We  Begin to work: 1. Meet Storyjumper:First up, everyone got a tour of Storyjumper and asee how it works. 2. Brainstorming : each group threw out ideas for their stories. We were all about friendship, adventure, and fun classroom tales. 3. Sketching : we planned out our stories, deciding who would do what. 4. Creating sStories: This was the fun part using Storyjumper to make our stories pop with cool illustrations and text. 5. Show and Tell: Finally, it was time to share our stories with the class.

Using Edpuzzle. So, I tried using Edpuzzle, and we worked with a farm animal video on Edpuzzle, I picked this video it's got catchy tunes and adorable farm animals that I knew would grab the children attention. Aim: Our main goal was get the kids to know and love farm animals and the sounds they make. After getting all excited about the animals on screen, we planned to act out the animals' sounds and moves in class.   Flipping the Classroom: In a way, this was like flipping the classroom but for preschoolers. The cilhrdren watched the video before class, so when they showed up, they were all ready to jump into more farm animal fun. This meant we could spend more class time workingbecause they already had a head start from the video. The Bes: It was a really possitive activite that children enjoyed. Next time, I migh add more animals and perhaps we cna add some simple questions during the video to make sure they're paying attention. All in all, using Edpuzzle to bring farm a
