AT Tip 7 - Holiday Fun

It's the season of holidays, celebrations, family gatherings, and (hopefully) some time off, so my tip #7 is about having fun. For young children there are several fun web sites:
  1. Christmas Stuff: HelpKidzLearn has a fun Advent Calendar - also look at their "Stories", "The Snow Family" is very cute.
  2. Hanukkah stuff: (unfortunately there are adds on this site) - Apples 4 the teacher has Hanukkah Activities.
  3. Kwanzaa stuff: Apples 4 the teacher also has some interactive Kwanzaa Activities.


For older students - Explore Drawing tools in Word
It's fun to explore the Drawing Toolbar and drawing tools in Microsoft Word. Exploration is a great way to learn new skills, and it's painless. Try creating an image or design and write an acrostic poem to go with it.

Word Art is another way to express ideas creatively.




Explore and enjoy this holiday season.
