May Newsletter

Happy May!

How many of you are done with school this month? I have two hands up high. I can't even believe my third year of teaching is almost over! I wanted to reach out and share some of my May resources that I thought you might be interested in!

This fabulous freebie is fun for all those Star Wars lovers in your class as you discuss Star Wars Day or "May the Fourth be with you"!



Snatch up this resource for only $1 to discuss Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) with your students. 

Do your students ever wonder why we celebrate Mother's Day? Obviously our mother's are worth celebrating, but where did this holiday come from? Teach them about it with this webquest! 


Still in school for Memorial Day? This is a great resource to use to discuss Memorial Day, with bonus webquests for Veteran's Day & Armed Forces Day all for only $2! 

If you like to use web quests to teach about holidays, then grab my bundle with resources for almost every holiday. It has over 100 pages of webquests with some fun bonus ones added! 

I also just added a Seasons Webquest Bundle to teach students about seasons and how each is celebrated. Each webquest also includes some writing prompts to get students thinking and discussing the season. How fun to start of each season with facts about it, right? 


Also, be on the lookout for my Careers Webquest Bundle & an American Symbols Webquest that will be added to my store this month! 

Finish Strong & Happy May,
Hilary @ Mrs. Tech

Build Your Wild Self {Animal Adaptations}

Build Your Wild Self  was a site that I just stumbled upon, but was probably one of my students favorite activities that we did all year. Basically, students are able to create themselves by playing with their body, hair, eyes, mouth, clothes. They can then make themselves "wild" by adding headgear, ears, face, arms, bottoms, backsides, and tails that are all body parts of wild animals. This activity isn't all fun though - there is educational value too! Once the students are done creating their "wild self" they will click I'M DONE. This will take them to the next page where it will explain to the students what is "wild" about them. It will tell them where their wild parts came from and why those parts are important to the survival of that particular animal. So there you have it - educational and a ton of fun! Just wait to see what kind of creatures your students come up with! It will be entertaining, I guarantee you that much. Try it ou

Powtoon {Cartoon Presentation Software}

Powtoon was introduced to me by a friend who was working on a presentation for one of our professional development days. She was talking about how boring PowerPoint could get when it was presenting information to those who were forced to attend meetings. She was going to try something different - and that is where Powtoon came in. Powtoon is a presentation software that allows you to share information using cartoons, speech bubbles, and animations.  Basically, you can make cartoons enter and exit your screen at any point, and they can share information while they are there. Think about Saturday morning cartoons that you are creating yourself to share something that is of interest to you! There are some great graphics and you can even add your own images and sound. Let's be real here, who wouldn't like a presentation where cartoons are teaching you about the next latest and greatest in the world of education? Try it out & let me know what you think, Mrs. Tech
