Catchy Words Spelling AR
Posted in apps, fun events, and games
First and second graders had fun on Digital Learning Day today in the Jackson Library! They used a new app to play a spelling game called Catchy Words. They have to find the letters in augmented reality, ‘catch’ them with an iPad, and place the letters in boxes to spell a mystery word. We watched Kirsten Hood‘s video to see how to do it. Fun!
We Are Thankful

The Plano Education Foundation prize patrol just visited the Jackson Library! I won the grant I submitted for The Masked Writer: Using Mentor Texts as Springboards for Writing and the group grant I co-authored with Connie Matthews for more EV3 LEGO Mindstorm robots. Woo hoo! So excited!

Did you know? QuiverMasks added new masks this year! Now there is a dog, cat, monkey, unicorn, and lion! Cute! After reading Lemke’s Book o’ Masks and Book o’ Beards, the second graders explored QuiverMasks.

Toni Simmons Visits Jackson!
Posted in fun events
Storyteller Toni Simmons visited Jackson Elementary last week and we all had so much fun! She told different stories to each assembly: kindergarten, fifth grade, third and fourth grade, and second and third grade. We heard Abiyoyo’s songs, Pedro’s trickster tale, a caps for sale tale, and we learned why dogs chase cats. Fun!
Check out highlights of her performances:
