My Wordle

Wordles can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom.  Spelling and vocabulary words can be placed in a wordle.  Parts of speech can be placed in a wordle.  Wordles can be printed as a coloring page and students can be instructed to color only the nouns, or verbs, etc.  Wordles make great Mother's Day gifts.  Students can use the word "Mom" then use as many words as they can to describe or show their appreciation for their mom.  Essays or speeches can be typed into wordle, and wordle will make the most frequent words larger.  This will help students understand the main point of the text.  The same thing can be done with prose and poetry.  The possibilities are endless!!  Try it today at http://www.wordle.net/   Happy Wordling!!!

Our Class Took a Trip to See Walt Disney's Chimpanzee

Our Class is making Silhouettes

I think this is a great beginning of the school year "getting to know you" project.  It is so much fun and the students have a "keepsake" they can cherish for years to come. Not only that, it looks great displayed at your first Open House event!!!

Now we have PLENTY of butterflies!

We Now Have a Butterfly

We saw our first butterfly yesterday.  Today, we have LOTS of butterflies.  We also have one caterpillar that has not formed his chysalis.  We're not sure if he's lonely or just lazy, but we will be writing stories about him.

T-Rac "Jammin at East Side"

Tennessee Titans visit East Side Elementary

                                                       Tennessee Titans #89 Jared Cook

Cook shared a positive message to the students of East Side by telling them to study hard, stay away from the "wrong" crowd, eat right, exercise, and get plenty of rest.  He also shared that he has plenty of homework to do.  More than the students at East Side.  Studying and hard work does pay off.





Mrs. Humphreys was presented with an autographed football to display at East Side.  East Side is a great place to learn!!!
