National "Insert Word Here" Month

Need a new idea to jazz up your lessons? Research what might be recognized for that month. For example September is National Potato Month and October is National Pizza Month. Students in grades 3-5 can make pie graphs showing favorite pizza topping and student K-1 can draw a picture of a pizza and write a sentence about their picture.

Here is a fun website. www.tagxedo.com After you paste your text into the word boxes you can choose different options that will arrange your work into word clouds in shapes instead of randolmly placed.

I will post some of my student work later in October! Happy Computing!
