For those of you wondering about how the Internet can enhance your child's learning this year, I'd like to mention some of the sites available that will correlate with our third grade curriculum.
In addition to the favorite sites that Mrs. Rosellini has listed on the opening page to our blogs, most of our textbook series have their own interactive sites. The one that I will be using from time to time as a homework assignment is from the Science series. The address is www.sfcscience.com. You will see some worksheets coming home that will require the students to "go online", with your supervision, of course. If a computer is not available at home, I can arrange fro your child to complete these assignments in the classroom or the computer lab after school...just let me know.
Other sites can be found in the front of the textbooks. Some of those I know of are:
Religion www.blestarewe.com
Vocab/Spelling www.sadlier-oxford.com (Vocab. Workshop, Level Green)
Math www.mmhmath.com
