This week I am also working with some of the primary teachers to create StudyLadder accounts where students can practice many skills related to their current curriculum.
Third grade students also made Wordles this week! After studying plants in their homerooms we brainstormed and made a class list of all the things that were learned about plants. Students then went to Wordle.net and created their very own plant Wordles. Each student's name is embedded in their word cloud.
Kindergarten
We are doing such a great job with ABCya and Starfall that we will continue with those sites until Study Ladder is up and running for Kindergarten students.
