Recoding in Progress
Wow! My teacher heart is filled with joy! Our amazing group of first graders starting recording audiobooks today to be shared with our Kindergarten classes. The first graders were able to independently enter the iPads, go on our recording app, read fluently, and then prepare the next group. I am proud of their hard work (preparing to read their books fluently), independence (going into the recording studio and using the iPads without much support), and confidence. Go first graders, go!
