Activity
1. The unit will begin with a classroom read-aloud with discussion from the Dr.
Suess Learning Library, Oh Say Can You Seed? by Bonnie Worth projected
from my Kindle onto the Smartboard for equitable access to reading and
information. The first week of the science unit will consist of the in-depth
read-aloud; next, small-group work with a color/cut-and-paste activity (or a
student may choose to write-in the parts of the plant) labeling the parts of a
seed and plant with definition, and lastly the plant life cycle (during this I will
project the images on the Smartboard for the students to reference).

Mobile App 1. Wideo does not have a mobile app equivalent.
Option 2. Vimeo is a great alternative app that can be used to make videos,
including adding music, slow motion, and time lapse. Vimeo is a free
service, but you must have a subscription if wanting to share your
project. It is available for iOS from the App Store and/or Android from
Google Play Store, and basic monthly subscriptions start at $6.99 per
month.
