Practice Position Words In OneNote

One of our early learning goals in kindergarten is to develop an understanding of position words, and OneNote is helping us do just that!

1. Type the position words you would like to use in to OneNote.
2. Locate free or purchased clip art to use as your fixed object (I chose a bus) add it to OneNote and set the picture to background.
3. Choose a moveable object/objects (I chose shoes) and add to OneNote.

We are also learning color words, so I add colored shoes. As we moved the shoes students helped generated descriptive sentences and I recorded their thoughts.

PowerPoint in Early Elementary!!

Practice color words and sight words, by creating a group PowerPoint.

Ideas adapted from Google Apps For Littles By Christine Pinto and Alice Keeler 

In the following activity, small groups of students will collaborate on the same presentation.  Each student will be assigned a slide color…this will be the color of the slide they are to work on (alternatively you could label slides with numbers, letters, symbols, etc.). For consistency the color or number you assign could also be used for future assignments.

Students are to fill in the blank with a color word and add a photo.

Option 1: Follow steps 1-4 if you would like to create your own presentation.

Option 2: If you would like to use my presentation download and save the PowerPoint I’ve shared, choose the slides you would like to use, copy and paste them into a new PowerPoint (past using “keep source formatting"). Follow steps 3-4.

1.      To create your own slides open PowerPoint and create slide templates in the desired colors, add text as needed. Save slides as images.

2.      Open a new Power Point presentation, and add the saved images as background fill .

3.      Share the presentation (with editing rights) with the students who will be working together and assign them a slide to work on.

4.      Duplicate this presentation for other groups, share the presentation with them, and assign them a slide to work on.

5.      Depending on the number of devices and the way you access Microsoft Tools students can find a link to this PowerPoint assignment in their OneNote Class Notebook, LMS, or access the assignment directly from PowerPoint.

Once completed the presentation can be added to OneNote for in class and at home review of sight words and color words!
