10/12 Wednesday

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.
