The kids have enjoyed the library’s “Choose a Book by Emoji” window bulletin board as much as I enjoyed putting it on display. It was fun to think of titles to go with different emotions. This fantastic bulletin board idea and template is from Erintegration! Check out her TPT site HERE.
Here are instructions I’m making for myself for when I forget how to do this next year!
These instructions are what I wrote down for myself after watching The Techy Coach’s video. It is not exactly like he says to do it (oops).
Create a new Google Slides presentation.
Go to the top menu bar: FILE – Page Setup
Change from (Standard) to: CUSTOM
Enter (size) – example: 10 x 1 – I messed w this further in the HTML after mine was finished (width 700, height 125) see HTML below
Type your message
Click TRANSITION button on top menu bar.
Select text box – click ADD ANIMATION
Add first animation: FLY IN FROM RIGHT (change to WITH PREVIOUS) – use slider to slow down (the one above I didn’t do correctly because mine is ‘AFTER previous’) oops 🙂
Add second animation: OUT TO LEFT (change to AFTER PREVIOUS) – use slider to slow down (move it almost all the way to the left)
10. Click PLAY to test your animations
11. Now go to your side view in the left panel and right click- COPY
12. Paste it about 10 more times (CTRL-V)
13. Choose FILE: Publish to the Web and adjust the settings as follows-
This is so it will “automatically launch in kiosk mode” (The Techy Coach).
14. I further adjusted the HTML to change the size parameters a bit for mine because it looked weird with the font I chose:
Last week in the Jackson Library, first graders had fun reading a silly story. During the video of the read aloud It’s Not Easy Being a Bunny (No es facil ser un conejito), the kids actively listen for why the bunny did not like being a bear, pig, etc. and drew a picture about what was bad about being that animal. There is no snake in the story, so they had to imagine what would be bad about being a snake and draw the bunny doing that in the last box.
