ABCya and Smilebox

Whew! Today the kids worked on a culminating activity for our PARTS OF SPEECH unit of study. This is what it entails:

• each student adds 10-15 words about one topic (eg nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs...)
• on their sheet, kids must have descriptive words and synonyms
• after double checking spelling and neatness, kids showed me their sheets
• if everything looks good, next step

Tomorrow, kids will type their list into ABCya's Word Cloud program (free and easy form of WORDLE). I will download their Word Clouds onto my flashdrive and make a PARTS OF SPEECH slideshow in Smilebox. 

I will post the slideshow when it is finished.

So, so, so, excited!!!

I borrowed this idea from "Techie Teacher"'s blog; what a wonderfully fun idea.
