Kerpoof.com

Have you ever been to Kerpoof.com?  It is a great website that has many free offerings for teachers and students.  This last week we (the class) worked on a section called "spell a picture".  It is fairly fun but mostly recommended for K-3 (3rd grade is even cutting it close).  The students get the alphabet in front of them and a scene that they chose.  Then they can spell site words and the image will come up on the screen for them to put onto their scene.  For example-if they spelled rabbit correctly, a rabbit would appear and they can put that in their scene.  They can also add actions as well (if you type snow, it will begin to snow).  A fun activity for the kids to work on.

Next time we go to this site we will begin create a movie section where students can actually create scenes with dialogue and moving characters.  More on this next time we go to this site.  Hope you enjoy.
