Book Talk Thursday: If I Built a House!

Book Talk Thursday: Hosted by Reading Toward the Stars!

If I Built a House by Chris Van Dusen

I absolutely love the illustrations in this story. They make the story come alive.
This is such a cute story! The main character build an extraordinary house that any child would love to have including a living room with trampolines and a bouncy ball pit.

Your students will love this story and it naturally starts an interesting conversation about what can of house they would build and what kinds of things they can put in their house that would make it fun and unique.

I have created a FREEBIE related to this story. This FREEBIE includes multiple writing graphic organizers, technology integration ideas, and additional non fiction and fiction books you can read along with this story.

I was sad to see that the Napping House by Audrey Wood is not offered through Amazon Prime. I absolutely swear by Amazon Prime and not paying for shipping. 

Prime offers these books:

This is only one of the multiple graphic organizers included in this FREEBIE.

Your students will love this story and it naturally starts an interesting conversation about what each student's favorite food is and what they would do it they turned in to that food.

Tech Tip Tuesday- Kahoot!

Tech Tip Tuesday- Kahoot!
Hosted by Techie Turtle Teacher

KAHOOT!

If you have not used Kahoot, then get ready to start and love it all at once!

First go to getkahoot.com

Then you create a Kahoot with content you would like to review. One great thing is that many Kahoots are already uploaded and you can search them at the top once you have signed in under "public".

Students will need to have an iPad, tablet, or computer to interact with the quiz. They will need to go to Kahoot.it to sign in with a PIN number the quiz generates once you start playing it. You also need a projector to show the questions to the entire class. This is something everyone must play at once. 

Below is an example of what the questions will look like to your students. Of course it will be the questions you set up or the Kahoots you choose that are relevant to what you are teaching/assessing. 

After students answer the question, everyone will be able to see how many people/groups chose the correct answer. It will not say who answered correct/incorrect. 

 After each question, you will also be able to see who is in the "lead" on the scoreboard.

I use Kahoot in kindergarten with beginning sounds and CVC Words.
I do not have an iPad for each child, so they play in groups.
Here are some Kahoots I have already created for CVC Words:

https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/f738ef12-7c96-4f76-9abc-46a0c273dacf

I conducted a faculty meeting to share Kahoot with my colleagues and you have never seen such an engaged group of teachers at a faculty meeting! I made a Kahoot all about our principal including favorite food, color, most embarrassing moment, work in college, etc. It was so much fun and the winner received a jeans pass for work. I had no idea teachers were so competitive!!

If you would still like more information check out this USER GUIDE

Please share any Kahoots you have made as well or any additional thoughts on the subject.

The video is mainly the Dancing Dragon and does not include facts about The Chinese New Year.

I also plan to read these stories;

Chelsea's Chinese New Year
