Great Science Website

We were talking about energy today and went to the website below to learn even more. It is packed with science clips about light, sound, friction, etc. The children liked it so much they made me promise to post it up on my blog before the day was over. So here it is . . .

Continent Activities

If you have noticed your child humming the "Muffin Man" song lately, it is because we have started to study the Continents and Oceans in Social Studies. The children will learn the names and locations of all the continents and the oceans, not to mention lots of information about maps & globes. Then we will begin learning about our beautiful state. If you have an extra moment, have them sing their continental to you. Beware . . . the tune tends to stick in your head for a day or two.
Below are some links to activities that the children may enjoy that review the Continents and the Oceans:
Continent & Ocean Hangman
Name the Continents
Globe Rider
Copycat Geography
Global Trek - Take a trip to places all over the world!

How do particles in matter move?

We were discussing how the particles in different forms of matter move today. So, we visited a website that animated the particles and we acted them out in class too. The children requested that I post the website up on my BLOG so they could visit it at home, so here it is . . .

Questionaut

I promised the children I would post the site I showed them for a brief moment yesterday. It is called Questionaut and it reviews logic, language arts, math and science skills in a SUPER fun way. Take a peck at the site and see if it is something you would like your child to explore.

What's the Matter?

We are currently studying matter in science. The children have loved learning about the 3 states of matter, how the particles in each look different and looking at some fascinating websites. Just in case they would like to visit them at home, I have included them below. Enjoy!

Spelling City

Is your child looking for a new way to practice their spelling words? Tell them to visit Spelling City at www.spellingcity.com

When your child visits the site, they need to click on "Find a List" and then enter "Largent" in the box and return. A list of teachers will pop up. They need to click on "Carol Largent". Then they simply click on their spelling list color and spelling rule. Once that is done, they can choose what they would like to do next. If they click Teach, the computer will review all of their spelling words by saying them and spelling them letter by letter. If they click on Test, the computer will verbally ask your child all of their spelling words and your child types in their spelling words one by one. Finally, if they click on Games, your child can play 9 different games containing their individualized spelling words. There are games like Match It!, Alphabetize, Unscramble, Missing Letter, and Hang Mouse.
