Tried it Tuesday!

So I found this fun "new to me blog" Fourth Grade Flipper and a fun new linky party!  I am participating for the first time in Tried It Tuesday.

We were encouraged at an inservice we had a while back to try some new websites in our classroom.  This was one of them....

Go to this website...Build Your Wild Self

Students get to create themselves as a wild character.  Seriously- go there right now.  Check this site out!  They can add all sorts of crazy things and they.just.love.it.  I had many students try it at home as well!  They wanted to make more than one!   After you make your character, it gives you a name and tells you about the wild self you created.  You can even print them!

Then, after they made their character, I had my kiddos write a story about it!  I forgot to take pictures of the finished products, but they are the best!  Here is a little freebie that you can use if you'd like.  I'm new to using Google Docs- so I hope this works!  This is a fun little way to incorporate imagination, technology, and descriptive writing.  LOVE!


It is so fun and simple- I hope you can try it in your classroom as well!
