Tagxedo - Word Cloud with Styles Team - Drill Head Now we can move to a different subject; let’s talk about the things that our class learns on the Nintendo DS's. One very useful learning game on the DS is the game Brain Age 2, my favorite game on Brain Age 2 is "Word Scramble". You are given some letters and have to unscramble the letters to make a word. I think this game is useful because you learn to spell words in a fun way. For example, I learned how to spell the word "overflowing," on that game. Now we can talk about the voice recorders. Because of all this and how well we have done in our MAP tests (100% of the students in our class have increased our scores from Fall to Winter, 85% of us have scored more than or very near our goals for Spring in our Winter test already, and almost 65% of us have done the same in Math), we think that all classrooms should have technology that children can use, so all children can benefit and be successful. I hope you will agree with me about this law that our class wants to make.
