Had the best time in 1st grade today helping them publish informational writing using WriteReader 📕 We worked for a solid HOUR and these kids were engaged and focused the whole time. 😮 They loved using the image bank & search tool to add real images to their stories. 🐱 🐶

In kindergarten, we talked about New Year’s resolutions being goals or promises you make yourself for the new year. They then used this @Seesaw activity from @risserb to share their own resolutions for the new year. 🎉 app.seesaw.me/pages/shared...

I am a big fan of @WriteReaderApp, and I'm super excited about the new Writing Insights feature, which provides actionable data for teachers to view student writing progress. Learn more here, and reach out to the WriteReader team to try it for yourself! ⤵️ www.writereader.com/blog/unlocki...

I LOVE when Ss share things they’ve learned as we are exploring an app! This 2nd grader discovered how to make her #coding project full screen on the Scratch Jr. App. as we were working on how to make our sprites go from one screen to another. Thanks @tracipiltz.bsky.social #edtechcoach #edusky
