The hustle and bustle is all around us, excitement is in the air. This month the library is a very busy place. New books are coming in, students are finishing up their research and Christmas stories are being told.
The Shelf Elf has been spotted and all are trying to be on their best behavior.
Here are a few ideas for this blustery month of December.
Don't forget http://www.biguniverse.com - Great Christmas stories and you can put them up on the smartboards or listening centers.
All Aboard The Polar Express! Check out this site for games, activities and a countdown to Christmas.
Creative Word Clouds- http://www.wordle.net or http://www.tagxedo.com
Use Wordle to create word clouds from text that you provide. The more times you use a particular word, the larger its text will be. Have students enter their spelling words, favorite poem or vocabulary words. They can change the color, font or layout of the text.
Tagxedo is similar to Wordle, but you can dictate the specific shape a word cloud takes.
Check out the library home page for more Christmas and Holiday activities.
Season's Greetings!
Debbie
