The Challenge Is On!

Hello All! As I had explained in many of my recent conferences, I was looking for a way to challenge students to go "above and beyond" my classroom expectations. It took some time to put together, but I have finally finished my challenge. It is called The Young Einstein Club and it can be found on the new tab just added to the top of this page. There, you will find a brief description explaining the program, directions on how to begin your quest, scoring, and much more! If you think you are up for the challenge, head over to the page and get to work! Good Luck boys and girls!

Typing Practice

After conferencing with many of you, I have been receiving a lot of feedback on my students' typing skills. In order to provide some ways to strengthen their typing skills, I have added another link to a website that provides interactive games that allow students the opportunity to practice their skills. It's just a start, but I hope you can find time to get students on the sites and practicing each night. Thanks!

Websites

Be sure to check out the links that I have listed on the right side of this page. There are a variety of links for students to use for additional support, extra practice and reinforcement of skills taught in class. For those students who are looking to go above and beyond, be on the lookout for some new ways to broaden your understanding of skills even further! Good luck!
