plants and seeds... learning as Scientist with the Read-a-roo's Fabulous Edible Garden iPad app

The first grade Butterfly Scientists LOVE the Read-a-roo's Fabulous Edible Garden iPad app!

The Read-a-roo's Fabulous Edible Garden app promotes scientific knowledge and understanding of the Common Core Life Science Standards, encourages healthy eating habits, motivates users to grow and harvest own food, and... more!

The Read-a-roo's Fabulous Edible Garden app supports learning through digital printed and visual texts, video segments, and interactive games as users actively engage in preparing, planning, planting, caring for, and harvesting virtual gardens.

The app connects virtual gardening to "real life" gardening and nutrition.

The Read-a-roo's Fabulous Edible Garden iPad app facilitates students' knowledge of Life Science content and motivates students' interest, self-initiated learning, and application of knowledge in and outside of the classroom.

first graders share and discuss understandings, questions,
connections, predictions, schema, and...
throughout the "reading process" and active engagement
with the Read-a-roo's Fabulous Edible Garden iPad app

first graders record meaning constructed
through multi-media texts and peer discourse
