Cube Mayhem, Blip and 100 Floors

By Anonymous -
My son, Robert, often tells me he has nothing to do.  This is when I present him with a challenge.  Sometimes it's a chore or helping me, and sometimes it's a new game I have found on the Internet or for the iPad.  Recently there have been some really great finds!


Here are three really challenging games for your students to give a try.  They are all logic type games approved by my son, Robert.  


#1 Cube Mayhem - this reminds me of Bloxorz.  


Get the cube from the start to the finish.  There are many different types of buttons to add the each layout.   Thank goodness for the walkthrough (AKA answer key) or Robert would have given up at level 14.


#2 Blip - Another game where you have to move the box from start to finish, but many obstacles get in your way.


Robert thinks Blip would be good for younger kids.  


#3 iPad game 100 Floors - This is by far Robert's favorite.  We sat out on our porch for more than an hour trying to figure out each level of this game.  The idea is to find out how to open the elevator door and move up to the next level.  


What an incredible feeling we had each time we mastered yet another floor.  Robert was really quite proud of his smart thinking!




Robert and I hope you have a chance to share some logic games with your students.  They build intelligence, perseverance and patience. Three qualities I'm thankful Robert is working on!

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 ...

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...
