Two Great Sites for Storybooks

By Anonymous -
eBooks are the future. 

Do you have an eReader?  I personally love my Kindle Fire and read on it daily.  Today's students should also experience eReaders and digital books.  

I find that my students really enjoy experiencing a story on the Internet.  My co-teacher and I use eBooks with our students during RTI (Response to Intervention) all of the time.

Here are two eBook sites to share with your students.

Msnucleus.org has storybooks about science. 


Topics covered are:
Applied science - electricity and light
Universe Cycle
Plate Tectonics Cycle
Rock Cycle
Water Cycle
Life Cycle - organisms, human biology, plants and natural environment.

Each eBook has animation and text.  The stories are interesting and engaging.





We Give Books has award winning digital picture books for students through age 10.  

There is a mix of fiction and non-fiction.  




These picture books load in a very nice format that makes the book easy to view.  Many books are multicultural.  There are also some great classics. 


Each book has pictures and text, but no audio.  If you sign up for an account, you can save books to your library.  There are options to help out with donations and win free books for you school.  

I hope your students enjoy these wonderful eBook sites.  If you find a website with eBooks for elementary students, please share.

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. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . 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...
