By the end of our mini-project, my students knew more about slugs than I could ever have anticipated. We wrote a class book about slugs, and they blew me away with the facts they remembered and how they explained them. We published the book as a storywalk along the hallway to our classroom, interspersed with our slug art projects and a sign that read "Follow Our Slime Trail". This was a big hit at Family Night, and the kindergarteners especially like looking at it on their way to art and music.
This week, my class hosted our all-school Community Meeting. I used the Spark video app by Adobe to transform our storywalk into a video book. I took a photo of each page (right in the app), and had the kids record their own voices reading the pages they had produced. Add a little music, and voilĂ ! An easy but impressive way to share what we had learned and make a more formal exhibition of our project to the whole school.
"Half of reading is love - sitting with a child on your lap, your arms around them, holding a book".
