Toondoo.com

This week we wrapped up our unit on animals and lifecycles. On Thursday, I was able to check out the wow cart, and each child was able to work on a laptop with a partner. They got to go to toondoo.com and create their own cartoon about animals or lifecycles. The children were instructed to come up with 3 facts they had learned during the science unit. Then they were instructed to come up with one false fact. The children were allowed to use their creativity and their work is authentic. Have fun letting your child tell you about their comic and let them look at some of the other student's work. See if they can decide which fact is false in some of the other children's comics. I have attached the example I created for the kids in order to guide them in this assignment. In order to view your child's work go to toondoo.com and login using the username jgist and the password bailey9. Then click on the blue tab that says toon and then click on the words my toondoo. You will be able to look at all the children's work and click on your own child's comic to view their creation. Have fun!!
