Happy Holidays!

I would like to wish all our families a safe and happy holiday season! Students are excited about Gingerbread Day, as well as getting out for the winter break! They are amazed that this is our last week of school in 2011! Wow! This has been quite a year for our county, but we are still going strong.

Be sure to "chase the boredom" next week with several activities your child can do online.

Top 10 Internet Boredom Busters:
1. Our portaportal website! (also linked from our class website). This has a plethora of websites that students can explore and have fun!

2. Create Your Own Snowflake. This is a very cool website and you can send a message to the world with your snowflake! You can also search who has made snowflakes and where they're from!

3. Raz Kids! (linked from the school homepage). Don't forget: cyouela to access our class!

4. The Electric Company! Watch videos, play games, and keep your reading skills sharp!

5. Brain Pop Jr/Brain Pop: Great websites to watch and learn! Don't forget: mnes (login), and fox (password).

6. Production Videos: These cool videos are what we've watched the past couple weeks with Economics. We've learned how balls, fortune cookies, sneakers, and more are made!

7. National Geographic Kids: a great animal site to explore (watch videos, play games, and learn!)

8. Wordle: create word clouds (we did this with our names!)

9. Class Wiki Site: Review what we've learned, get a "sneak peek" on what we're going to cover!

10. Bob Science: Great experiments to try (with a parent's help!)
