Powerpoints: Who Knew?

I recently began using PowerPoint in my first grade classroom. At first I was hesitant because I assumed that a PowerPoint would not be something that would engage my students. I was under the assumption that they were too young to "get" anything I could put together on PowerPoint.

I was introduced to the website Pete's Power Point Station (please check it out), which has a variety of informational power points and power point games for ALL grade levels. Using power points in my classroom has become an exciting part of my lessons. The students are getting reinforcement for what they have learned, I can do assessments without paper and pencil and it's fun!
