For this project, we had to create a wordsearch for children. I chose to do the topic of "Things you need in School". I included many different words such as "pencils", "teachers", "students" etc. We used PuzzleMaker from SchoolDiscovery.com in order to make our word search. This was very easy to complete because all we had to do was fill in the blanks with words for our search. Then we had to insert the wordsearch into Microsoft word and save it there.
Check out the Wordsearch!
What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out
