First Grade uses Story Maker for Spelling Practice

Mrs. Lawler's class is incorporating technology into their normal routine and engaging students along the way. The students are working on their keyboarding skills and practicing their spelling words at the same time. These students chose four spelling words, typed them up using a website called Story Maker, and added their own illustrations. Using technology made this normal activity a little more exciting.

Mystery Number QR Codes

While working with numbers in math, students created their own QR codes to conceal a mystery number for this project. Students identified if their "mystery number" was even or odd and what it would look like in word form, expanded form, and in base 10 blocks. To help them check the answers on this interactive bulletin board, students made a QR code and added it to the project. Students have been working with many types of QR codes during independent center time, so they really enjoyed creating their own.
