"Old-School" Interactive Whiteboard

Today at Community Day, we transformed our interactive whiteboard into an old-school library tool: the flannel board.  Ruby and her mom cut figures and props from classic folktales out of felt squares.  They are going to sew a big piece of pale blue flannel onto the SmartBoard cover, turning it into a dual-purpose tool.  Our inspiration for the figures are Judy Sierra's 1987 Flannel Board Storytelling Book.  (Of course, the SmartBoard will still be used when we are in "digital mode").  Children will be using the flannel board to perform stories for their classmates.
