How many of you use whiteboards and markers in your classroom? Here is a cool app to check out. Kids can choose from hundreds of colors. Once they have completed the work, they can email you the answers or picture of what they drew. The best part is this app can be connected with other ipads. Two kids can work together on a problem or diagram drawing. Each student gets to see what the other is writing. They are collaborating!!!! Awesome!!!!! Check out the link below from itunes!!!

Grammar Apps
I downloaded and checked out two grammar apps today:
1. Grammar Jammars-FREE- This is a great app for grades K-2. It gives a song or chant to match up with the skills. These skills include: Adjectives, Contractions, Nouns, Pronouns, Punctuation, Sentences, and Verbs. Once you click on the skill, it does the chant and when the song/chant is over it will give the student 3 questions. The student then has to find the skill within a sentence.

2. Grammar Dragon-FREE-This is a great app for grades 2 -6. It is a game and you choose the level and the character the student wants to be. It then asks the students to find the parts of speech in the sentence. It will give them an example and ask you to figure out what part of speech the bolded word is in the sentence.
