Press Here

McGowen LMC just received the most adorable book recently.  It's called Press Here.  It's a book for primary students, but I bet even my oldest students would think it's cute and fun.  The book will have you turning and shaking and pressing and certainly smiling!  Check out this video and you'll know what I'm talking about:

2nd grade bloggers?

Two 2nd grade teachers approached me today about working with some of their kids.  The first teacher who came didn't have a plan or any ideas for me, but I immediately suggested a book club.  I hope the parents of those young 'uns won't mind them blogging!  When we start this next week, I'm going to have them blog - probably by posting projects or audio files (such as a Blabberize, fotobabble, voicethread...) some web 2.0 tool, not just text.  I need book suggestions now...
