Special Days Coming Up This Month
Valentines Day
Wixie has some activities in their Month by Month folder: a rebus, a sort, and a valentine outline. You could have kids make their own valentine too.
Make your own virtual candy hearts.
100th Day of School - February 16th
Aging Booth is an app TSTs at both schools have been asked to add to the iPad that will "age" a person. The kids love seeing themselves old. Use the app and then have them write a narrative, poem, or short story about being 100.
Here are some things you can do in Wixie:
Math - have kids create a picture for 100. Use stickers to create 10 rows of 10 stickers, write a number story where the answer is 100, or create their own image representing 100.
Language Arts - students could draw themselves at 100 and write about it... the All About Me template in Wixie would work well for this!
Presidents Day - February 20th
Pebble Go has articles on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Wixie has a Venn called Compare Presidents, comparing George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. It is in the Month by Month folder.
Use ChatterPix to make George Washington and Abraham Lincoln talk. They could tell facts or say what they would do as president.
They could write about what they would do if they were president...maybe even put them in front of the White House via green screen ... for green screening use Do Ink on the iPads or Wixie (yes, Wixie) on the laptops.
Digital Learning Day - February 23rd
VB Digital Citizen resource site
Seesaw has some resources here and here.
