After School Program #5

This week, we had the kids use a website called "Wordle" that turned out to be a lot of fun.  They got to input words that define them.  We put up on the board some ideas for them to use, such as: favorite food, color, animal, subject, place they were born, places they've been, etc. This took a while, as the kids are not very proficient at typing.  This was ok though, because we gave them plenty of time to input as many as they could.  Once they were done inputting words, the site then takes the words and makes them into a customizable collage.  The kids really enjoyed this and they got to print out their wordles and take them home to show their parents.  Overall, this activity went over really well. The kids got something cool to show off and they also got a lot of practice with typing and spelling, without even realizing it.
