A New Experience..........."Wordle"

Today, during our computer lab time, the children tried something totally new. We visited a website called Wordle. Each child typed in our 20 sight words & created a "wordle" collage & then printed a copy of the collage to share with their family.
This was a great lesson and gave everyone a chance to practice learning how to spell our sight words & how to locate the letter keys on the keyboard. If you would like to let your child show you what they learned today, please visit http://www.wordle.net/create. They can create a new wordle collage by typing our sight words from the ring attached to their folder. One child even experimented making a wordle collage with the names of family members. This is a great site to use with older children in your family or in future years for learning spelling words & vocabulary terms.
