A few cool websites you can (should) visit

1.) http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/crossword/
Read*Write*Think Crossword Puzzles
This interactive website allows students and parents to do online crossword puzzles. It also allows the user to create his or her own crossword puzzles, which can then be printed. Students: practice with this site. You will be creating cross word puzzles in upcoming lessons. Parents: you can use this site for fun or to aid your child in his or her studies. Remember, your child will learn faster and easier if you are involved!

2.) http://interactives.mped.org/view_interactive.aspx?id=110&title=
Read*Write*Think Printing Press
This is a wonderful site which will help students to design a printable newspaper, brochure, flyer or booklet. This site will be used in class to help students create a class newspaper. Each class will create a monthly paper detailing the news of their peers. These newspaper articles can be about classroom activities, as well as sports and personal news. Each class will then print their newspaper. I will also post the monthly newspapers on our class website. I feel that this will be a fun and entertaining venture! I hope you all enjoy it.

3.) http://www.readwritethink.org/beyondtheclassroom/summer/grades6_8/MagneticPoetry/
Read*Write*Think Magnetic Poetry Set
This site allows students to practice using different parts of speech to play a fill-in-the-blank-story game. They then make their own list of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, exclamations, and conjunctions that they turn into a personal magnetic poetry set. These activities encourage students to play with language while making sure that they know the difference between a noun and a verb or an adjective and an adverb.
