Book Fair is Here!
The Author is coming, the author is coming!!
Pk- thru 2nd grade got to hear the story Little Rabbit and the Meanest Mother On Earth by Kate Klise. On November 7 Kate Klise will be visiting Olmos Elementary and presenting to Pk-5th grade. Kinder practiced their prediction and inferencing skills as we read the story and then helped the librarian create the Meanest Mother on Earth Monster using the iPad .
1st & 2nd grade used the iPad App Dibu Lite to make their own monster and then used ChatterPix to make their Mean Mother Monster talk. Each student had to think of 1 thing they're told to do before having free/fun time at home. (i.e. I'm the meanest mother on earth because you must do your homework before playing your Star Wars game.)
