************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** Date: Fri, 2 May 2003 09:58:19 -0700 (PDT) From: susan silverman <comsewogue@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Welcome to Kidspired Bunnies Our project is almost complete. The remaining web pages will be posted within the next few weeks but there are plenty of materials that you can use right now. If you are a reading, K-2, special education teacher or school librarian and have access to Kidspiration, this resource is for you. A group of innovative teachers have created Kidspiration templates that you can download and use with your students. You will also see how these teachers integrated Kidspiration in their literacy programs. Ways to Use This Project: In the Library: Read one of the bunny books to the class. Depending on the number of computers you have in your library, allow students to work on the Kidspiration template that goes along with the book while other students choose books to take home. The next time students come to the library, show them the shared writing/interactive writing piece that is showcased on the web site. Use this as a model to replicate the activity. Allow students to work on the Kidspiration template during book exchange. Classroom Teachers: If you have learning centers the Kidspiration templates are ideal. You can also have students read the written piece as a shared reading activity on the computers. Depending on your grade level, students can engage in the same written activity as an independent writing activity during center time. These are just a few suggestions. Please let us know if you find other successful ways to use this project with your students. Send us an e-mail or post your ideas and feedback on the project guest book.
