Hey Diddle Diddle-toontastic

Each week we take a nursery rhyme read and learn it.  Nursery rhymes are amazing learning tools.  We learn  vocabulary, rhyming, phonics skills, sight words, and so much more.  At the end of the week, we put the nursery rhyme in our poetry journal and illustrate it.  At the end of the year, there will be about 20 nursery rhymes in each poetry journal for the students to keep. 


I discovered an ipad app called Toontastic.  Yesterday, we took the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle, Diddle and created a cartoon for it.  The kids had so much fun creating it!   Here is a link to watch what we have done so far.  We had so much fun doing it, they asked if we could do every one! 

Here is a link to view it on Toontube.  Enjoy!
