1. Game Time-Let's get the day started with some games. We have a new game I want everyone to try. It is called Popword. Directions are below:
Play Popword by click-and-dragging across adjacent letters in the
grid and releasing the mouse button when you have selected a word. Each
successive selected letter must be directly next to the previously
selected letter (either horizontally, vertically or diagonally).
If the word you have selected is a valid English word, the letters
will 'pop' away and the letters above them will fall to take their
place. You score points for each word you pop. Longer words score many
more points than shorter words.
