Lit Picks and Tech Tips

Since I seem to have a holiday theme going today, I thought I’d share another item. For those of us who grew up in the 80s and loved “Africa” by Toto, you’ll get a kick out of this video. It is a safe one to share with others, even your students, but I don’t think they are old enough to get the humor. Enjoy!

Here are some fun holiday activities you can use with your SMART Board. I’m not sure how educational they are, but they’re fun.

Build your own gingerbread house
Build a snowman
Reindeer Orchestra (play Christmas songs by squeezing the deer’s nose) – this is my favorite
Make a snowflake
Santa Sliding Puzzle
Snow Line Game (draw a line to help Santa get the presents) – this one was hard for me, but I’m sure kids will figure it out
