3rd Grade Animals Podcasts

AmazingAnimalsIn third grade today at Holladay Elementary we made “Amazing Animals” podcasts (SOL 3.4). I gave them a folder of pictures to use to show hibernation, migration, camouflage, and mimicry. Then I showed them how to add the photos to the podcast track, record their voices on the vocals track, and find a song for the jingles track. We only had time to do the first topic, hibernation, but they will continue the project on their own and at a later date I will post some of the finished podcasts. You can see my sample here and student samples here and here (the second one I included because I thought it was funny!) Remember they are small videos because they are for playing on iPods. You can download the entire lesson with the photos, a template for dragging into student folders, and the sample here.




All About Me Keynotes

AllAboutMeIn 3rd grade today we made “All About Me” Keynotes. We took our photo in Pixie and got pictures to represent our family, pets, and interests by using the stickers in Pixie. So this activity combines two programs. If you’d like to do this activity with your class you can download the folder by clicking here. It will appear in your downloads folder and it has a starter template to drag into your student folders as well as a sample with guidelines.
