Flocabulary

Working hard on the Wiki we will use this year.  I have created pages that will go with what we are learning and that students can use for review.  I have created play lists on you tube, and I will upload videos (I am hoping the wiki will take the size of some of the videos) on each page so that the kids can view and review each topic.
I have found a lot of good stuff on Flocabulary.  Since I have an account, I intend to use this as well.  I really like the Word Up, Grammar and Literature links.  I just need to figure out how all of the raps will fit into my classroom.  I am thinking of using them much as I did last year.  I will begin the day with them but this year instead I will follow the lesson plans so that the kids learn the raps, vocabulary and grammar.  I need to make sure I am leaving at least 30 minutes each day for reading or writing.  That would leave me more then enough time to have a mini lesson or direct instruction.  I need to whittle this down to what I am going to use and how I want my day to progress.  Perhaps it would be best to drive everything through Edmodo and use the Wiki for review and remediation.
