Shouting Out About the Environment

Are you looking to bring technology and literature together in the classroom?
After listening to Lester and Clyde by James Reece 
the kindergarten class created a word bank of phrases they would like to “Shout out” about the environment.

The students selected and typed phrases onto a word document template.   The sentences were printed, cut out and added to a painted background along with a profile shot of themselves.  I used this creative idea after seeing it at Selwyn Ridge Primary School, Welcome Bay Tauranga NZ.
