Kahoot!

Kahoot! is a great way to help your students learn. This website/ app allows students to interactively answer questions that are related to the topic you're learning. The teacher sets up a quiz and gives the students a code to enter into the app on their phones. The next part is the interactive part! The kids can easily answer the questions and are able to get immediate feedback. This is a great resource to use in your classroom and is a great way to get kids of any age started in learning technology! Use this for any subject as an easy way to make learning fun for your students and make it easier to see how well your students are doing in that subject. Just download the free app and you're ready to go! To start a game, click here ! Image Source

Gaming to Learn- Food Street

Food street is a great app to download to teach kids how to mange and run a business. It is very kid friendly for upper elementary students and all ages past that. Kids will learn how to set up their own restaurant, take orders, and buy, sell, and grow food to make the customer's orders. This is a great way to relate things in the real world to learning so kids can understand it better, they can experience it first hand through this app and it allows them to try out things of their own when it comes to making a business run. In this game, your thought process consists of thinking about what orders you need, what you need to grow to make those orders, and then purchasing new items to make more food. It involves keeping track of money and gems to make sure you have enough to purchase things at each new level. This is a great game for almost any age and you are constantly learning during it!   Image Source

Thanksgiving

It's almost here! One of my favorite holidays of the year is Thanksgiving. I love spending time with my family and friends and focusing on the things we have been thankful for all year. Each Thanksgiving, we go from my grandparents house in Galesburg, IL to my grandparents house in Walcott, IA and basically split the day in half between each side of the family. I have a large family on both sides so it is fun to see all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. At my one grandma's house, we always will eat homemade rolls, noodles, and a yummy turkey, then at my other grandma's house I love eating her homemade mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Food is the best part of Thanksgiving and that is why I'm sharing this recipe that you and your kids, cousins, or even you siblings can make at home that is cute and festive! Here is the link to this festive recipe! Image Source
