Guest Blog Post: Flocabulary

This guest blog post is brought to you by Andi Achterberg!

Have you ever used Flocabulary with your students?  My class LOVES IT!  If you aren’t familiar with it, it’s an online program that has fun videos for students.  They introduce grade-specific vocabulary words, then have daily activities you can assign, including a vocabulary game, read and respond, vocabulary cards, and a quiz.  There is everything from Reading and Writing skills, to general grade-level vocabulary, and even Science and Social Studies vocabulary.  You can also share it right to Google Classroom!  I’d be happy to show you how it works, if you’re interested!
