AWESOME APPS LetterSchool

I LoVE tracing letters on the train track just to watch the train. LOL
Oh, and the Kiddos LoVE it too.
SO FUN!


I started with the FREE app but...
I LoVE this AWESOME APP so much that I even bought the app for my classroom iPods.
I have 4 wonderful iPods donated from 
Donor's Choose 
& Friends.
THANK YOU!
A special thanks to Bill, Jan & Val!

The word is out that I use my iPods 
in a center every day. 
The Kiddos LoVE them.
I decided I better start posting some of 
my favorite apps because
people want to know.

When I first introduced the iPods to the Kiddos 
I explained that I put an app on my iPhone first. 
That way I can check it out and decide 
if it will be used on the classroom iPods. 
Soon Kiddos were asking parents to add apps
 to their iPhones.  
They were practicing at home!
How FUN is that?
