Kids Know It

By Anonymous -
Here is a web site that seems to have a lot of everything!  It is called KidsKnowIt.com. 


First of all there are tons of educational games to be played on all academic areas.  Here is one on the U.S. States.  These are the different categories:



There are learning activities that teach all kinds of topics. Here is one on the human body.  Others include dinosaurs, state capitals, rocks and solar system, just to name a few.


There are educational songs to listen to.  Check out this one on capitalization.

Next, there are movies that teach different topics. Check out this one on averages.   Averages is a hard topic to teach, but this video does a great job explaining it so kids understand what averages are.


There are 32 movies available!

Also there is an online virtual world called Miamiopia that kids can join and explore.  Registration involves creating a username and password.  No email is required.  Check it out here.


To sum it up, KidsKnowIt has their own websites for each of the following topics.  Just click on the words to go to each website.

Animal Data Base 
Human Biology Site
Astronomy Site
Math Site
Biology Site
Memory Site
Dinosaur Site
Movie Site
Games Site
Music Site
Geography Site
Spelling Site  *You may recognize this one.  It is Kidsspell.com.  I've posted about this site before.

KidsKnowIt has a lot to offer.  I will be using this site to supplement my lessons and to offer students time to learn and have fun during our computer skills time.

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. 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 ...

I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
