The Silly Wishes Readers’ Theatre
1st grade GT students rehearsed a play called “The Silly Wishes.” They made puppets for their play using paper and markers. They made a background for their play using the Drawing Pad app. Finally, they recorded their play on an iPad and compiled it all using the Green Screen by Do Ink app. Enjoy their work!
Research by 1st Grade GT Students
1st grade GT students each picked a topic they wanted to explore more. First, they made a graphic organizer with questions they wanted to answer about their topic using the Popplet app. Next they used a Symbaloo webmix with resources that were curated for them to answer their questions. Finally, they used the Book Creator app to write about their topic and the things they learned about it.
You can view their Symbaloo webmixes, including each student’s Popplet graphic organizer, here:

Why are bugs attracted to light?
1st grade GT students explored the question, “Why are bugs attracted to light?” on this Wonderopolis post. We learned that scientists are unsure exactly why bugs are attracted to light. Then they used the Draw & Tell app or the ChatterPix Kids app to answer the question, “Why do YOU think bugs are attracted to light?” Enjoy their work!

1st Grade GT students used a variety apps to create stories of their own choosing. Among the apps they used were: Felt Board, Drawing Pad & Book Creator.
