I thought this was a challenge to try and get through all the resources.  I picked out a few to use on a project that we do in 2nd grade every year.  Students do a report on penguins.  They pick a penguin and come up with some research and write a report.  They aren’t detailed reports as it is their first shot at it.  We could use Bookflix to locate books on Antarctica. I logged onto Bookflix and searched through books to find ones that would apply.  Anytime you can tie literature into what you are learning, fiction or non fiction., it enhances student learning and engagement.  I would have several books pulled up on different Ipads for students to read when they finish early or during small group time.  This is an amazing resource that I don’t use enough.

I chose Iclipart and did a general search for state flags.  We do a pamphlet on a state that the student picks.  This would be a great tool for kids to find their state flag with an easy general search and be able to legally use it in their pamphlet.  This is all done with everyone at one sight.  Teaching 2nd grade, keeping everyone on the same page is a must.
