Thing 14

I "played" before Spring Break, but did not reflect. This meant that I needed to revisit some sites, but this revisit worked to my advantage. Wordle is so much fun. During the break, I played with the site with two granddaughters. Each created a word poster using a homework assignment. (They eventually became excited!!). I created a word poster using the introductory paragraph to the new ELAR TEKS. What popped up was amazing. The most frequently used word was "student" and "reading." I hope to give new teachers a copy in August.
Some of the other sites I need more time and an idea of how to use them. The sandbox wiki will be very helpful.
Another site my two girls enjoyed was Trading Card Maker (from Thing 13). We made character cards for "Sponge Bob" and John Adams (Emily has a report due this week and plans to hand out her cards). The three of us spent several hours on the trading cards. Time flew by and we all had fun learning how to navigate the site.
