Need an idea for Mother's Day?

Try something new for Mother's Day this year! Celebrate your mom by putting together a music video in imovie. Include your mom's favorite song, pictures of you, and things your mom has told you over the years. Post this on a blog or use iDVD to make something she can keep and show to everyone. This might take some time, so start now!

Wikis

I've been playing around with wikis. I'm still learning, but I've had fun with it so far. Here's the link to Mrs. Wadsworth's wiki. I've included activity descriptions using Comic Life and Kid Pix. Not much so far, but if you're looking for an activity, look at these pages and they might spark your creativity!

National Poetry Month!

April is National Poetry Month! Here are a couple of fun links to help you write some great poetry! Celebrate the power of words!

Poetry Magnets--Rearrange the words and see what kinds of poems you can come up with. Take it a step further by figuring out what part of speech each word is, and replace it with another word of your choice that is the same part of speech. Remember that poems don't have to have perfect grammar, and line breaks give emphasis to words at the beginning of a line.

Giggle Poetry is poetry site for kids. My favorite is Poetry Fun, where you can fill in the blank to try to finish the poem. Choose your words based on the context and on what will rhyme!

Happy poetry month!
