Kindergarten
Kindergarten students typed color words for their typing warm up making each color word in the actual color. This taught them how to change font color. We also learned how to do a google search for PBS Kids and selected the right website from the search results. Normally I have a short cut on the desktop for them to click on but felt like it was a great search opportunity do a google search. The students absolutely LOVE PBS kids, so make sure you bookmark it for some summer computer fun!

This week we worked hard in typing our word list for wordle. We had to type all classmate names and then make a wordle out of them. They made some great designs! Remember Wordle is free and a great way to practice typing!

Wordle - First and Second Grades
First and second graders had fun practicing their spelling words by making a wordle. This website allows you to type in text (or copy and paste) and then it will great a design using the words. You can vary the size of your text by typing in the word more than once to create a bigger word. It's a great site and a wonderful way to practice spelling words!
Kindergarten Websites
We spent some time in kindergarten class working with letter and letter sounds. Students listened to a fun video about the ABC's. Then we went to some fun websites! Here are the links to the websites we visited. Enjoy!
