The iPad is far superior to the workbooks- instant, self correcting, gives immediate feedback, kids progress at own levels and can be working at differentiated levels.

  I love this post! thanks Michelle! I do believe that technology has to be part of the early years classrooms..but it has to be brought in in a way that it is not a treat. Kids need to see them as learning and exploration tool just like they see legos, blocks and books.

Other curriculum areas we use the iPad in are science (as a journal to record our observations) to check the weather, Social Studies- we tweet other kindergarten classrooms and find them on maps and the globe and learn about their lives; comparing similarities and discussing differences and even collaborating on play projects.

Debate on use of ipads in kindergarten and whether or not they are age-appropriate. Would you rather have them bash sticks together to see if they can make fire?! Have some faith that kids, even young ones, can benefit from appropriate use of technology! Keep them in this century! They can do things you never imagined!

Sooo true, but I 've worked with the ipad with my tutoring children and sometimes they get bored with some games because its not as fun as Angry Birds!! Jajajaja Apps have to continually improve and become more creative and challenging.

  - the use of manipulatives (#8) is very important as it helps young children who are feeling uncomfortable with their lack of English to gain confidence that they know what the other students are talking about as they can rely on their visual abilities as opposed to their language abilities

  This blog post resonated with me as I am always looking for new ideas to help my students learn to read. Guided Reading is practiced in many classrooms but I do not feel that experienced in it. This idea is relevant, simple and gives students ownership in their learning.

  I would probably alter the activity slightly by having multiple bags ready containing different stories. Students choose a bag, dump it out, and then retell the stories to each other in a center, after we have read the book together.

A fantastic activity to help with Guided Reading. I am always looking for more ideas! This activity also helps with sequencing in math. Students can work independently with each other. Fantastic idea!
