Ms. Hazelgrove’s 2nd graders have been studying the different kinds of severe weather: thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, flood and droughts. Today we did a fun activity using Glen Allen’s iPad cart!
Before I came in Ms. Hazelgrove had her students pick one of the severe types of weather and write a few sentences in their science journals. This allowed us to jump right in and get to our digital creations 
I made {THIS} Google folder with images of the different types of weather and weather tools. I turned the folder link into a QR Code that we projected on the board. Students used the QR scanner to scan the QR code that took them to the Google folder. They located the image that matched their weather description and saved it to the camera roll.
Next, we went to the app, Tellagami, and students changed their background to be the picture of their storm. They got to customize their characters, pick their emotion and then record their voice pretending to be a news reporter reporting about their storm.
Check out their class movie:
