End of the Year Technology Activities

Listed below are websites to assist you with fun end of the year projects and activities.

Math- Thinking Blocks

  • If you haven't visited this site yet, it is a must.  Thinking Blocks' colorful bar diagrams engages students while solving problems.  Students can chose the operation and degree of difficulty.


Reading- Into the Book

  • Into the Book has highly engaging activities centered around reading strategies.


Writing- Wordle

  • Have your class create individual wordles.  Wordles are a collage of words.  The more a word appears, the larger the word will be in the collage.  Students can write down a sentence describing each student in class, once the students receives his/her list of sentences, he/she will type them into the wordle and create their own personalized word collage.
  • Tagul.com is also a site that create wordles, but requires a login.  Tagul allows the creator to manipulate the image created by the words.
    • *Thank you Pinterest for the pin-spiration


Social Studies- Google Earth

  • Through satellite images, students navigate their way through terrain and 3D buildings.   Have your students explore their world and space then report back to the class about they discovered.  If you can't access Google Earth, Google Maps works as well.  


Computer Science- Code.org

  • Code.org is a great way to introduce code writing to students.  The site has different activities based on age and experience.  My third graders have really enjoyed this site all year.
