So, here is the MEGA Pack I worked on, and am so proud of! Now, my grade level will have a lapbook to study all 9 historical figures! I am excited to use them this year for Testing Prep for the Georgia Milestones!

As promised, I want to share a little about Ipads in the classroom. Here is a free item I made for a staff development that lists some applications I currently use in my classroom. Since then, I have increased my knowledge and use many others, but this is a great starter list.

I am going to go throughout my day, and list ways to utilize the Ipads during each activity. This week I will focus in on English/Language Arts. I will continue the topic of IPads in the Classroom each week until I finish posting about every subject.
Writing: We practice cursive writing every day for a few minutes. There is a cursive handwriting app. free that you can use for this activity. If you do not teach cursive, there is a print app., as well.
I'm sure you have heard of Toontastic. This is an app. that your students can use to create and publish a story. It is very cool!
Reading: The uses for Ipads during Reading and Reading Groups are endless! While reading a novel study, you can download a reading app. like Nook, Storia, or Amazon. The students can read the books on the devices. However, if you are like me, I enjoy using the real books!
Here are some of the apps. I use during Reading Groups.
Education Galaxy has wonderful common core practice. They have apps for Language Arts and Math. I use these apps weekly. They cost money, but they are awesome.
I love games, so I love these games by Teacher Created Resources. The students can play as a group of players or one player. They are $4.99 a piece, but well worth it!

I also love for the students to get reading comprehension practice using passages. However, the copies become endless without Ipads. I found this application that I love. You can track student progress on this app. They have a free version you can test out, first. I highly recommend the paid version!

The big push is to have students create using the IPads, rather than use them just for apps. IMovie is awesome for that. Students can use IMovie to create trailers and movies. My class made an awesome Susan B. Anthony Movie with Trailer two years ago. I wish I had it to post on here!

I am sure I will think of many other apps. for Language Arts as the day goes on. I will add them to the beginning of next week's post before focusing on Math.
So, as promised, here is my FREEBIE of the Week! Please take a moment to rate it after you download it.
