=//Post class notes: The 4th grade did a great job! They learned about wordles, chose songs to use as wordle pictures, and spent the class period familiarizing themselves with the program. Next week we will create the cards (and they can do this at home as well - several students wanted to work on it before the next class, which is fine!) For directions, see the @Wordle Songs page.//= =Topic=
 * Creating Wordles
 * Using the Snipping Tool
 * Pasting and Resizing
 * Printing to the Color Printer

Today we will create lovely holiday wordles! We will:


 * Observe Mrs. Boone creating, cutting, pasting, and editing a wordle
 * We will create a list of holiday words in Microsoft Word
 * We will cut and past them into a [|Wordle]
 * We will adjust our Wordle until we find it to be what we like
 * We will then use the snipping tool to cut/paste our Wordle into a PPt slide
 * We will adjust our Wordle to create a holiday card
 * We will insert a text box that will convey holiday wishes
 * We will print our cards

This is a lot of work to get done in a short period of time - if we don't finish this week, we will definitely finish during next week's class!
