Brown Bear Sequencing
I got the idea for this lesson from the Math Pickle website. The video there talks about helping the kids recognize the patterns present in many stories and of course Brown Bear is an obvious one to start with. I took the original Powerpoint and changed it some so that it works exactly with the story (see below.) In addition I created small images to represent each page of the book (also below). I had my students cut out those pictures and then glue them in the correct order on a sentence strip. After that they wrote the correct color word under each image and for a challenge my higher kids tried to write the animal names above each image. Please note that the pdf is designed to be cut into four different strips (4 kids can use one page.)
Another idea I had that I will be trying next year is using the iPad for the kids to practice sequencing and retelling the story. One idea is to use the educreations app . I copied the images of the characters from the Powerpoint and added them to my iPad. Then I loaded them into educreations and had my son retell the story.
You can see the video example here.

Matt, great idea. You can also use those beads and pipe cleaners and have them make a sequencing/retell bracelet.
I gotta say. I app-solutely LOVE your iLessons. This one reminds me of the one Yolanda’s husband and daughter created with Mad Lips and iMovie: http://vimeo.com/43226294
Thanks Lisa, means a lot coming from you! That link to the Mad Lips is awesome and hilarious.
