Sea Horses Can Change Color--and more!

Did you know that sea horses can change colors to blend in with their surroundings? And puffer fish puff up like a spiny balloon to warn predators? Ms. Noble's first graders were super writers this week in the Media Center. Each student researched an ocean animal and constructed a paragraph of their information. We used PebbleGo to find our information. This is a great non-fiction website for students that Club Blvd. subscribes to--please contact me if you would like the username/password for access at home.

Students found 3 interesting facts as well as information for a topic and closing sentence. We wrote a rough draft of our facts and then turned it into a final paragraph--it was a lot of work! 

We also explored information from our collection of ocean books---you should check one out! 

The students were eager to share their information so I used the Educreations app to record each one reading their paragraph. I love this app because it allows students to practice fluency while honoring their creative voice. 

We loved listening to ourselves on the big screen!
