Adobe Voice App

This past week two of my kindergarten classes were learning about Oviparous Animals.  Together we worked to build a list of oviparous animals and then each student created a page for a class book.  We then worked with the app Adobe Voice to take a picture of their page and record their voice, so that their worked could be shared!  The students loved doing this and Adobe Voice was super EASY to use!!  Click here to watch and learn about Oviparous Animals!

Clayton Lego Wall

I am excited to announce that the Lego Wall is up and ready to be used by students.  In fact, there already have been students working on the Lego Wall.  In looks great tucked away in the corner and provides the students with a great place to imagine, build and create.




















If you are interested in making your own LEGO wall it is pretty easy.  Here are the materials that I used: plywood to glue the baseplates on, Brick building base plates, and construction adhesive.  I first had a 42" x 42" piece of plywood cut and screwed to the wall.  I then used construction adhesive to glue the baseplates to the plywood.  I let the Lego wall sit for a day and it was ready to be used!

Here is the link to the baseplates that I ordered.  These have worked great and are compatible with all types of Legos!
