Chatterpix: “Si j’avais 100 ans” As the 100th day of school approaches, take a photo of each child and age the photo using the App called AgingBooth. Your students will be excited to see themselves at the age of 100. In our Kindergarten class we spoke a bit about how we might look funny ahead of time and laughed together at our Teacher’s photo first. It was quite the lesson in learning to laugh at ourselves. We then took the picture to ChatterPix and used the mouth moving option to recite “Bonjour mes amis, j’ai cent ans, J’aime beaucoup ___, J’aime aussi _____.” They then memorized their lines (although many got nervous when recording so you’ hear me in the background.) The students and parents really enjoyed hearing their voices recite in French.

Our class has been reading along with audio books that I created using Book Creator for a few months. I finally felt the kids were ready to help create a class book using the App. Our class has been learning about families and discussing some of the ways our families are different and alike. We used clay to form a portrait of our families, based on Barbara Reid's illustration style. Then, we wrote a short description of our family using simple sentence starters in French such as : voici, c'est, and regarde.
Now, we were ready to start using the Book Creator App. I started off by letting the class have some time to play and explore the Book Creator App features. I encouraged students to share their knowledge and learn from each other. I have a few tech experts who helped their buddies discover how to insert a photo and record their voice. Next, I worked one-on-one with each child during our exploration time, and had them take a photo of their work and add it to the class book. Before this lesson, we have rehearsed reading their description of the family. I quickly practiced again with each child individually and then had them record themselves reading the text. Et voila! We had a class book created using Book Creator, which the class loves to listen to over and over. I also shared it with my parents on the Seasaw App and parents loved being able to hear their kids read the text. We had some very proud parents! Click the button below to see our finished product! |
