It's Sweet To Be In First Grade: Learning with Technology is Always in Fashion

"Fashionable Learning Moments Worth Highlighting"

My students are having a blast as they learn the rules of grammar. As they learn what nouns and verbs are, I have also integrated the use of some of the coolest technology programs as ways for the students to share and prove what they have learned.It may not be stylish to wear pointy toe shoes in a round toe season, but using technology while learning, will never go out of style. After studying nouns, my students performed a small skit on their way to recess. Take a look below by pressing play.You can click the small paintings below to view how the students painted examples of verbs using a fun technology tool. Go ahead, see these verbs in "ACTION". (Get it?... "verbs in ACTION"... LOL)

                                                 Skit: Learning Nouns is Cool
                                  Starring: Rachel, Anthony, Oscar and Rob Roy

Featuring: All other students in Ms.Carl's class

The verbal content of the skit is as follows:

Rachel and Anthony: "It was sure cool learning about nouns today."

Oscar: "It was sure cool."

Rob Roy: "What?" "What is a noun?" (playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors" with friends, and suddenly has a confused look after hearing other students talk about learning nouns)

Class: (in shock they shout) "You don't know what a noun is?"

Class: (Respond) " A noun is a fine word yes siree, a person, place, or thing

you see. Can you draw a picture of the word? If you can, it's

a noun you've heard!"

Rob Roy and Friends: "Oh, so that's what a noun is."
