Fun and interactive finds

I was looking around the web today for some technology resources for my kids and I wanted to share with you two of my favorites.

I first came across these stories at my school’s book fair and absolutely feel in love with them! I knew I had to use them with my students. These stories are great to use with my older students ( grades 3-5 ). A quick refresher using the traditional version and we were good to go. One of the reasons I love these stories, traditional and ‘fractured’, is that they are short enough to read during a session with plenty of time left for an activity and data collection.bit.ly/3y0CvwA ...
