Kindergarten Students Create Digital Animal A-Z Book

The last two weeks, Mrs. Snitker's Kindergarten students have been working to create a digital A-Z book All About Animals.  The students have learned about all the letters of the alphabet and were able to pick one or two letters and color an animal on the iPad using the app iLuv Drawing: Animals. Then, each student colored their letter of the Alphabet and we used the Green Screen app by DoInk to film them telling us what letter and animal they created.

6th Graders Create Music Videos using Video Star App

Mrs. Vagts 6th Grade music classes at Postville have been working hard to create their own music videos to demonstrate their understanding of the mood and theme of popular songs they chose in small groups. They used the lyrics as well as the rhythm and beat of the song to create a music video that illustrates their understanding of the song. The music videos were created using the iPad app Video Star.

Each team worked as cast and crew of their own video.

2nd Grade Habitat Videos

2nd Graders in Mrs. Spain, Mrs. Lage, and Ms. Cioccio's classes have been studying about different types of habitats and what plants and animals live in each habitat. As a demonstration of their knowledge, the students worked at home to create their own model of one type of habitat or ecosystem that includes plants and animals that live in that habitat. Each student wrote a short script they read aloud about what habitat they created and the living things within that habitat.  We used the iPads and the app Green Screen by DoInk to put each student "into" their own habitat as they described it.  Each student's video was added to their class movie using iMovie. Each classes video is below.
