The Base 10 game would be an amazing teaching tool for place value or use it for review. You just click and drag the hundreds, tens, and ones onto the mat to make the right numbers. Use this in a center or on the smartboard. ![]() 3. As an ITRT who is being utilized in the computer lab, I am always on the lookout for game sites for students. I just stumbled on this one called Smarty Games. This is a new site that not only has desktop games but are adding games for play on mobile devices. While I don't think that games should be the end all of a student's time in lab, they do have a place. You can also use this as an indoor recess tool. ![]() 4. Those who know me, know that I love Teddy Bears! That is the reason I fell in love with this site called Alpha-Bears. This game is best used with older students-4th through middle school. It would be a good center or lab activity to teach vocabulary building! 5. Friday at the Movies- - Kids love trivia and kids love animals. This video would make a great writing prompt. Have the students choose one of the animals shown and research it. They could do a "day in the life of" story! Bonus!1. Here is the link to the folder I forwarded to you on Tuesday that was shared by Clair Morck, reading coach from MHES. These are great resources to use in helping your students practice those TEI questions.
