Mister Rogers built a fabulous neighborhood full of imagination and creativity. It has now gone digital and so that it can continue on in the younger generations.

On the Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood website, students will have to chance to build their own neighborhood. All of  the images are drag-and-drop and can be enlarged or shrunk by clicking on the magnifying glass. Once on the background, the picture can be moved as much as the student wants to move it. When complete, it can be printed out.

How can you use it in the classroom:

• teacher can give direction words for picture placement (next to, behind, in front of, etc.)
• write a direction on a piece of paper where it contains the name of the object and where it should be moved to
• describe an ordinal direction for an object
• one student writes the location of an object and another places it on the background strictly by the description
• write a paragraph describing the setting of a story and then create it on the website
