Our Digital Books
Our Squiggles of Awesomeness Project
We participated in the Squiggles of Awesomeness project. Classes who signed-up were matched with other classes around the world. All participants received the same design - a page with four abstract squiggles. Students were asked to use the four squiggles to create a work of art. The partnered classes then Skyped with each other, to show their beautiful artwork!
We embellished our squiggles with markers, and even named our masterpieces. We were matched with a kindergarten class in Katy, Texas. We Skyped with the other class, and each student got to share his or her squiggles via the Internet. After we shared our artwork with each other, we spent some time asking questions about life in Texas. We really enjoyed Skyping. It was so much fun!

Animals of the World
We created a non-fiction book about animals. Students took home library books, and used the Internet, to research their chosen animals. They gathered three facts about their animals, and created two illustrations for the book. We put it all together in this digital book!
