Glory!! Glory!! Hallelujah!! I can't believe that I got this crossword puzzle on this Blogpost!! What an accomplishment for a non-computer person like me!! I must say that this was a fun exercise. I enjoyed making a worksheet from the ABCTeach website. That was the easiest thing we have done so far. I enjoyed making a rubric at the Rubistar website. The rubric was also a fun exercise, but it required a little more imagination than the worksheet. I enjoyed making my study set words and definitions on Quizlet. My favorite time of year is fall, and Halloween is my favorite holiday, although it's not really a holiday. This crossword puzzle was made from the terms and definitions that I made on the Quizlet website. I took those terms and entered them on the Eclipsecrossword website, and I generated a crossword puzzle that can be used in a classroom. I really enjoyed doing these exercises, and I think these will be fun things to do in my future classroom. I believe that Rubistar will be a website that I will visit many times in m career as a teacher.
