Day One of Wixie Project
All I needed to do the first day was assign the Wixie project to my students and explain to them where they can access the screencast video. My first graders are already extremely familiar with using BCPSOne to navigate through resources given by the teacher. They are also independently using Wixie. This made it very easy to provide them with what they needed.
The students gathered their devices and headphones and found a spot to work in the classroom. They began watching the video then seamlessly began working on their Wixie project. There was little to no confusion about directions or expectations from the video. This allowed me to begin pulling small groups without being interrupted.

Screencast Video for Day 1:
Since day 1 of this project was on a Friday, this lesson was completed just before the students took their weekly spelling test. I was able to use this work time to meet with the students who I noticed were struggling with the week's spelling words and practice with them.
