As my students continue to grow in independence, I am looking for ways to build into that. In the last week, I introduced Google Docs and students have been typing up their paragraphs about different landforms and water features during our writing block if there is time. Some students are so excited, they are finishing up during independent work time later in the day while I work with reading groups.
It is incredible how far students come from the beginning of the school year when some struggle to log into their computers to the end of the year when they are able to put together a complete Google Slideshow almost entirely on their own. 7 and 8 year olds are doing this!
To foster more independence and to review our science unit, I put together a self-correcting interactive review activity using google slides. Here is an example of one of the pages students refer to after matching up the features on their own.
