SPLAT!


Student interest is a key to student success.

One way I try to do this is by letting my students play a game called SPLAT for review and also for short days.  I divide the class into 2 groups.  I then write the word ANSWER on my dry erase board.  I give both groups the same time to decide on an answer.  A student from each group is at the dry erase board with a fly swatter waiting for someone from their group to signal they have an answer.  Once the swatter receives the signal he/she swats the answer.  The fly swatter on the bottom gets to answer first.  I know I adapted this game from someone (so sorry, I dont remember who) but the reason I am posting about it now relates to something I found at WalMart fly swatters with the word SPLAT written on it!  Yeah me!  They were only a dollar a piece so I bought several!

No specific sites this week.  There were too many to put down!  Instead, go to your blog reader, type in free fonts, and check out all of the bloggers generously sharing free fonts.   They are so cool!  I love this font it is called Butch!  I believe it is going to replace my favorite Comic Sans.
