Does anybody have some Extra Yarn?

In kindergarten, we have been experimenting with our iPads. Students have learned how to hold an iPad properly and how to share it with their friends. They've also learned how to take pictures and how to use an app called DoodleBuddy. In library we read a story called Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett. In this story, a little girl stumbles upon a box that is filled with yarn, so she begins to knit for her friends and her family and eventually even for her house and pet dog. I asked kindergarten students to take pictures and create their own knitting creations using DoodleBuddy. This project allowed students to demonstrate their understanding of the text read aloud through media and answering questions about the key details in the story as well as an opportunity to collaborate and show the responsible use of technology in the classroom.
