Hi all! I hope every one was able to get some rest after our exciting trip to Washington. I had tons of fun learning about our nation's history.  I hope you did as well ! I uploaded some pictures from my camera so you can see parts of our memorable day.  Now here comes the fun part! :)

Ms. Brown has uploaded the pictures you took with your cameras. I hope you took good notes on Friday because now it's time to finish your powerpoint presentations.  All of your powerpoints need to be completed by Friday, May 11th.  You are to submit your finished project to your assigned teacher, you should know by now who that is so that we can review and make any necessary adjustments.  The computer room will only be open this week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, so please make sure you copy everything you may need on to your removeable disk.

Our B.O.O.S.T presentatation/reception will be on Thursday, May 31st @ 3PM in the Auditorium, so tell your parents!

BOOST T-Shirt Project:



As we prepare for our upcoming trip to Washing D.C., we have an awesome opportunity to create something really cool!  Take a look at the image above, do you see my name?  What about P.S.36 Project BOOST?  I thought to myself, "Wouldn't that look great on a T-Shirt?"  So guess what, we're going to make it happen!

Get ready to let your creative juices flow!  Here is what I need you to do:
  • Open Microsoft Word and type a list of as many word as you can that reflect the theme "PEACE." Once you have checked the spelling of each word highlight the text and click copy. (Ctrl+A) select all (Ctrl +C) copy Submit your changes.
  • Then, click on the link to access this webs  http://www.tagxedo.com/app.html
  • Next, Click on Load then right-click in the text box and click paste or press (Ctrl+V) paste.
  • Then, choose a Theme, Font, Orientation, and Layout.
  • After, you may want to choose a choose a shape.  Believe it or not, you can upload a picture of yourself and create a Word Cloud in your own image. You can also write a word and have it be the image or your Word Cloud.
  • Next, click Save and using the Image tab click 16mpJPEG.  Save this image on your flashdrive. 
  • Congratulations, You Did It!
As we discussed earlier, I also want you to create a Peace Poem to go on the back of your T-Shirt. The poem should be meaningful and from your heart. Type you first name and last initial along with the date at the bottom of your poem.  


I think you all will have a great time working on your Word Clouds.  I'm excited to see what you come up with. 


In addition, don't forget to email me your PowerPoint presentations.  I really need to see what you are doing and how you are progressing within this application.  Don't worry if your presentations are not completed , I will review them and make corrections if necessary.  


If you have any questions, please email me as soon as possible.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Brown
