Come join our Winter Wonderland Fun!
=February Activity:= ====﻿Heart Writing: ﻿ This was not one of the listed activities, but I have to share it because my students enjoyed it so much. Many parents thanked me for the activity because their child came home so excited and eager to share their work. I was shocked and very pleased when my students showed so much enthusiasm for the activity. The site is called Text Layout. ==== = = =December Activities:= ====Gingerbread Glyphs: We had a wonderful time creating our gingerbread people in PowerPoint and graphing our information using Excel. The second graders did a super job completing all the tasks: changing paint fill colors, deleting items not needed, creating a text box and typing their name, saving the .ppt file in their work folder and then saving the file as a .JPG. They look so cute! Everyone enjoyed expressing their thoughts as to why candy or cookies should be liked the best and how much they love gingerbread. What a terrific activity! Thank you to the creator of the Gingerbread Glyph activity.==== I created a Gingerbread Glyph Glog to display their work. media type="custom" key="7885413" ====﻿Holiday Song Video: The students created a winter scene using Kerpoof! They were given a choice between Make a Drawing or Make a Picture. Next, we voted on which winter song to sing. Then, we recorded ourselves singing using Audacity. Lastly, I put the images together with our song using Animoto. The students had a wonderful time listening to their singing and viewing each others winter scenes.====
