I'm still stuck on the turkey theme---I wonder why? Maybe it's because it's my favorite holiday. Good food, no gift shopping hassle, family, days off! One very cute class of 6 boys is making a "Thankful Classroom" video. The kids are taking turns posing around the school with favorite adults and in favorite places, saying very sincerely what they are thankful for. I wish I could show it here!!!

Instead of showing you my movie (worthy of an Oscar, by the way), I'll settle for showing off our turkey counting activity. I lifted this craft off of a great website:
No Time for Flashcards.

Hard at work. Note iPad front and center. |
You can probably figure out that the number corresponds to the number of feathers.
I used
Pictello on my iPad 2 for sequencing the steps. Here are a few of the screenshots. Pictello reads the steps one-by-one out loud. I was amazed at how attentive the students were to the pictures and the directions. After the craft was finished, I ran some simple questions by the boys--nearly 100% accurate!
Love it! Is it Gina's class doing the video!! Oh how I miss those fun holiday activities with my boys! :/ love them!!
