Friday Fun

Happy Friday everyone!



Make-a-Flake is a neat site where students can create their own snowflake.  They use virtual scissors to cut into the virtual paper.  Then they can preview the snowflake and choose to email the snowflake or download the snowflake as a JPEG image.  We're going to have students create snowflakes and then save them as their desktop image.

Winterbells has a challenging game where you have to make a rabbit jump and reach as many bells as possible.  I was able to get a high score of 2100!  Here's the proof!

Line Rider is just plain addicting!!!!  The challenge is to draw a line and then see if a little character can ride the line you drew.  Try as I might, I was not successful with a loop nor did I manage to not injure the little guy.    I found Line Rider to be challenging and addicting at the same time!!!

They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header.
