Week 5/Week 6..... The return of wordle!

      So I have the first week of student teaching under my belt! It was a little crazy, being in grades 5-11 in multiple subjects. The students were fantastic, we will see how their behaviour changes once they become more accustomed to me. I was even asked to teach a couple lessons during the week, which was both nerve wrecking and exciting.

      During the week I didn't use a whole lot of technology. That was until, while in my grade 5/6 ELA class, we needed to create a way for them to think creatively about Halloween. Can you guess what I used? That's right, our old friend wordle! I had the students brainstorm 10 words about Halloween individually, then share their words with a partner. This was of course after I had read them a compelling story about a witch and her broomstick. 

     I am about to start a project with the grade 5 and 6's with presentations about extreme weather. I am hoping to convince my co-operating teacher to look at Prezi. So here it goes... bring on the next week!
