Super Learners in Room 206

Today in Room 206 we read a delightful book titled My Name is Not Alexander by Jennifer Fosberry.  This book is a historical adventure.  Through this imaginative journey,Alexander discovers how great men become heroes.  As Alexander learns how some remarkable men changed the world he finds the hero within himself.  We used this book as a springboard to discuss our own great qualities.
We also learned about Wordle.  Wordle is a fun way to create "word clouds" from a set of words.  We choose to use ourselves as the topic of our word cloud, using ideas from My Name is Not Alexander.   The possibilities for creating word clouds are endless.  We will use this tool a lot this year to show our creative thinking.
