Saturday Snapshots & a New App

Time for another Saturday Snapshots link up! This week we were able to cross off the letter M for Movie on our summer bucket list. We attended the first KC Chiefs Kids Club Movie Night. 

We watched The Lego Movie on the field at Arrowhead Stadium, well in our case in the stands. My little man did not want to sit on the field.  

Before the movie began there were lots of events for the kids. His favorite activities were visiting Warpaint, the official horse of the Chiefs. He also enjoyed taking pictures with the  Cheerleaders; he's a flirt! 

He's still afraid of the team mascot, KC Wolf. 

We had a great time, and enjoyed The Lego Movie. 

New App-WordFoto 

Browsing through twitter I came across an app, called WordFoto, that I instantly fell in love with. I can see so many uses for this app such as, characterization & vocabulary words. I definitely will be using it the first days of school. It is very easy to use. Take a look at what the app does:

Isn't that a cool app? Do you see uses for the classroom? I would love to hear them. 

Be sure to stop by the Saturday Snapshot linky to see what other photos have been snapped. 

Have a great Saturday, 

Thinglink: Summer Bucket List

Thinglink is my new favorite app/website! Our students have had the app on their iPads for the last 4 months, the app allows you to add: links, text, videos and images to a photo making it interactive. You can also access it through the website, which has more features than the app. I didn't have my students use the app until a few weeks ago, and once I did I was disappointed we hadn't used it sooner.

With less than 10 days until the start of summer break, I needed a creative way to organize our "Summer Bucket List." You can explore it below. If you hover over the bulls-eye (I don't really care for them, but you can change them on the website; notice the heart in the right hand corner.)  on each letter you will see the activity related to that letter. The letter Y includes a link that you can click on. Once we have completed our activities pictures will be added to each letter as well. Can you tell I'm ready for SUMMER? I love my job, but a break is always nice.



If you visit the web site you can find several example of Thinglinks people have created: here is one called "App-tastic." that describes various apps and how they are used. If you've used Thinglink or have ideas for using it I would love to hear them!
