Happy Friday!
Today I added links to the "Literacy Links" and "Math Links" tabs on our classroom blog. I also began teaching the children how to access the school website, find our blog, and click the links to play math games. This is really exciting because if the children play math and literacy games on the blog at school and really enjoy them, they can go home and play the same ones from your home computer!
I also added a link under the "Literacy Links" tab to a website called "Spelling City." This website is fantastic because it enables you to enter the Red Words and word family words (this week we worked on the "-ag" family) your child brings home each week, then play games with them. The website generates games and activities using the words you enter! What a better way to practice the weekly spelling list!
One more fantastic link under the "Literacy Links" tab is Storyline Online. This is a HUGE hit in our classroom (just ask your child!). The site is a collection of popular children's books read aloud by famous actors (such as Betty White and James Earl Jones). Everyday at snack time we use the smartboard to watch/listen to one of these books outloud. Now you can watch them at home too!
Keep checking the tabs for new additions. I will keep adding things as I discover more great learning tools!
