Happy New Year!!

This has been an awesome privilege of having the opportunity to have several iPads in our classroom. 

My mind started to flood with ideas and how I could use them.  These are a couple of apps that we have used consistently in my classroom.

3.   Text Features

4.   Structure of a story

5.    Cause and Effect

6.   Summary

7.    Author’s Purpose

8.   Main Idea

9.    Compare and Contrast

10.                       Theme and supporting Details
