"Wordle" you thankful for, Area B?


Second graders in Area B typed 10 or more words they were thankful for using Microsoft Word. They used the "return" key to type on a new line, saved their work, and learned to copy and paste their work between applications using both the menu and the keyboard shortcuts. They pasted their words into the Word Cloud maker from ABCya.com. Here are some of their Word Clouds.
