Parents/ Students - New for 2008/2009 Literacy Progams

Parents, please check out the new links for literacy. We will be adding this section with the emphasis on fun and literacy being one. Literacy comprehension will not only be in Reading, we are going to try to increase comprehension skills across all disciplines.

New Early Childhood Development Sites!!!

I have updated the early childhood development websites. Many of these sites are recommended by early childhood specialists. Enjoy.

Check out Your Karma

Check out your Karma. The site is fun, however the cheap capitalistic offer at the end takes away from the message. Your kids will learn a lot about the history of Karma. Enjoy. (Here are my results)

TrueLifeKarma.com - Online Karma Test Click Here!

, Your Karmic Alignment is: Optimistic!

Score: 13 In general, you tend to create poitive actions. You have a caring personality which gives you positive Karma. Every now and then you slip up and harvest negative Karma. But, all in all, you follow lines similar to the Monks on their way to enlightenment.

Brainpop

This is a great site that is free for many of the features offered for students. Parents and Students are given a generous amount of free lessons in all content areas, and the arts.

Presidential Fun

Try the link on the left that asks 25 questions that will align you with a Presidential Candidate. The results will surprise you. (I thought Obama would be my alignment and to my surprise, John Edwards was closer to my personal beliefs)

Early Childhood Sites

Early Childhood sites for parents is here!!! I do recommend limited use of technology. However, there are sites appropriate for early childhood learning. I am working with early childhood educators to recommend sites for parental/child use. Just look for the links on the left side.

Chicktionary (Free for Students and Teachers)

My first post is the game of Chicktionary. This is a fun online version of Boggle with a twist. The version I recommend for teachers is the Microsoft Live Version. This version provides the classroom hints and definitions. The student version allows for competition and gaming among friends.
