Scrabble Letters and Scrabble Word Finder

I'm finally starting to update all of my covers to get a more uniform look in my store. I started with my "Printable Scrabble Letters". These are not clip art. You'll find 81 pages of letters (upper & lower), numbers, and punctuation in 4 sizes. Great for bulletin boards, word work, games, etc. All you need to do is print and laminate. I have also included pages of the more frequently letters.

All Scrabble Words is a neat site where you can put in a group of letters and it gives words that you can make with those letters. Great way to learn new words. Have students discover the meanings of words they don't know by looking them up.

OKC Great Horned Owl-Cam Classroom Questions Answered through Videos by Alessondra

If your class has been watching the live OKC Great Horned Owl-Cam here is a link to the personal videos Alessondra has been making for classrooms answering their questions about the owls nesting outside her window. She is an amazing, well-spoken, young girl. Students will enjoy learning from her. I think there is still time to have her answer your students' questions about this owl family. The owlets haven't left the nest yet but they soon will.

Below is just a sample of the videos she has made.

If you don't know about the OKC Great Horned Owl-Cam check it out with your students. It's fascinating. You can read more about it and how to submit your classroom's questions in my earlier post My 3 Favorite Animal Web Cams. You'll find more resources for learning about owls in my post 20+ Resources to Learn about Owls!
