2nd Grade Habitats
Yesterday I taught a workshop about web publishing. I shared various sites that let students publish books and websites online for free. You can see all the sites by clicking here, but one of my favorite sites from the workshop was Kerpoof. I used it today in 2nd grade at Chamberlayne Elementary for students to create habitat posters (SOL 2.5). If you go to Kerpoof and click “Make a Picture” you will see all the amazing background scenes the students can choose from. There’s pretty much every habitat you can imagine. So the students quickly selected a habitat, then they added in the clip art animals. The students could search for additional pictures and they could even draw their own. Next they added speech bubbles to convey important facts and vocabulary words about their habitat. You can see a sample by clicking on the picture to make it larger.
