<h2>Here are 6 craft ideas for Memorial Day <a href="http://www.firstschool.net/why-first-school" title="First School - Preschool" target="_blank">for preschoolers</a> that they will find easy and love to do:</h2>
<ol>
<li><h2>American Flag Painting</h2>
<p>Use small craft pom-poms to dab red, white and blue paint onto paper. Using clothespins to hold the poms, dab each color paint in the shape of a flag.</p>
</li>
<li><h2>Make American Monuments</h2>
<p>Place pictures of the American monuments near the blocks. Show the kids how to make the different monuments with different colors and shapes of blocks and other available materials.</p>
</li>
<li><h2>USA Bracelet</h2>
<p>Make a USA or America bracelet by stringing pony beads and letter beads on a pipe cleaner or heavy string. You can add other decorative beads as well.</p>
</li>
<li><h2>Firework Hands</h2>
<p>Cut hand prints out of construction paper and glue on to a background paper. You can also put paint on the child’s hands and make hand prints on the paper. Use glue to draw lines that represent the spray of fireworks and sprinkle on some glitter.</p>
</li>
<li><h2>Book of Patriotic Symbols</h2>
<p>Create a small book out of paper and glue pictures of patriotic symbols on each page. You can also draw the symbols. Have the children color the pictures and write the words that represent each symbol. You can create a story with the symbols or put various symbols together along a time line.</p>
</li>
<li><h2>Patriotic Word Building</h2>
<p>Use small magnetic letters that have been grouped together in words. Scramble the letters and let the kids put the words back together. Words can be repeatedly jumbled and remade giving each child an opportunity to play the game on their own.</p>

Download <a href="http://www.professorword.com/" target="_blank">ProfessorWord</a> on your classroom computer(s); run it whenever you bring up a website on the classroom projector and voila! Any time you run across a vocabulary word students don't understand, <b>simply click on the word and view the definition.</b></p>

Access the <a href="http://lingro.com/" target="_blank">Lingro</a> website, type in the URL you want to visit, and <em>Lingro</em> will make every word on that site "clickable," allowing students access to <b>instant Spanish translations.</b> Students can collaborate, look back at recent words, and more.</p>

We can see a multitude of classroom game possibilities too.</p>

Did you ever think the words "Fun" and "SAT Vocabulary building" could go together? We didn't either until we found the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/sat-vocab-mindsnacks/id494140836?mt=8" target="_blank">SAT Vocab - Mindsnacks app.</a> Your students will get addicted—and this is one technology addiction we can fully support.</p>
<p>Try these new apps out on your students and see what they think. We suspect that your vocabulary building lesson plans will be even more effective when you use engaging tools your students can use both at school and at home.</p>

If you’re looking to <b>reduce your paper trail</b>, <b>keep parents in the loop</b> and find more efficient ways to <b>manage your students’ behavior</b>, we’ve got 5 more apps you might want to add to your classroom management arsenal.<br/><br/></p>
<p><b>5 More Indispensable Classroom Management Apps<br/><br/></b></p>
<p><a href="http://www.threering.com/learn_more/"><img id="img-1359470260618" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/classroom-management-apps1.jpg" alt="classroom management apps1" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" border="0" width="266" height="103" name="img-1359470260618"/>Three Ring</a><br/> Want to ditch the notebooks and archaic filing system once and for all? Want to capture Jimmy’s first presentation or Greg’s behavioral, ahem, challenges so you can better articulate yourself during parent-teacher conferences? Now you can.</p>
<p>Simply <b>snap a photo or record a video or audio clip</b> and file away. And if you are so inclined, email your “classroom artifact” to students and parents so that they can stay up to date and even comment on their file. </p>
<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smart-seat/id420586734?mt=8&ls=1">Smart Seat</a><b><img id="img-1359470288242" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/classroom-management-apps2.jpg" alt="classroom management apps2" class="alignRight" style="float: right;" border="0" width="138" height="184" name="img-1359470288242"/></b><br/> This app’s simple drag-and-drop feature allows you to <b>create random or customi</b><b>za</b><b>ble seating charts</b>. But there’s more: Smart Seat gives you the ability to record and export <b>attendance</b>, choose random students for <b>class participation</b>, jot down <b>student notes</b>, and store student photos all in one place.</p>
<p>Taking a day off? <b>Generate a PDF version</b> or email your seating charts (with photos) to the substitute teacher. If that wasn’t enough, Smart Seat even has a built-in <b>"flashcard" feature</b> that allows you to upload pictures of your students so that you can quickly learn their names.</p>
<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remind101/id522826277?mt=8"><img id="img-1359470328002" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/classroom-management-apps3.jpg" alt="classroom management apps3" class="alignLeft" style="float: left;" border="0" width="92" height="163" name="img-1359470328002"/>Remind 101</a> <br/> We know how important it is to nurture relationships with parents and keep them involved, but how do we do it? Remind 101 is a website that provides teachers with <b>a secure way to text or email students and parents with updates and reminders.</b> Here’s how it works:</p>
<p>Teachers set up classes on the Remind 101 site which generates a unique code they can share with students and parents. Once students or parents send a text message with the code, they become “subscribers.” If you have concerns about sharing your personal phone number, rest easy. Teachers will never be able to see their students’ phone numbers and students will never be able to see theirs’ either. </p>
<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id436682059?mt=8">Stick Pick</a>If you’ve ever had a student protest that you’ve called on<img id="img-1359470396641" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/classroom-management-apps4.jpg.png" alt="classroom management apps4.jpg" class="alignRight" style="float: right;" border="0" width="161" height="160" name="img-1359470396641"/> him or her too many times or favor so and so, take yourself out of the equation and blame it on Stick Pick. Shake your phone or tap the screen to pick a student.<br/><br/>That’s not all. Stick Pick even offers a variety of <b>question start</b><b>ers</b> <b>(based on Bloom’s taxonomy)</b>and records how well students respond during classroom discussions. Let’s say that Jenny consistently scores high on the questions; simply change the difficulty of the questions to ensure that she stays challenged and engaged. </p>
