  We will begin testing Multiplication facts in January.  The tests will be given 2-3 times per week.  Please practice your facts daily.  The order of facts given is 0,1,2,5,9,10,11,3,4,6,7,8,12.  The students will work at their own pace and there will be a reward party in May. Practice, practice, practice! 

Here are some turtle links to games and informational webpages for kids about sea turtles.

                   

Information and game on leatherback sea turtles.

 

Information, pictures and video about loggerhead sea turtles. 

This link is an interactive sea turtle puzzle.

This is a sea turtle concentration game.

Please click on the link below to help with your Jan Brett WebQuest!

Please practice math facts every night!  It is essential that students practice their facts.  This will help them with other concepts and multiplication.

Please be sure that you are having your child practice his/her addition and subtraction facts.  Most students are doing well on the addition facts; however, many students are struggling on their subtraction facts.  The best way for your child to practice these is with flashcards.  If you click on the pictures (links) below, your child can use electrionic flashcards online.

                                         

 

I have included some links below to online games and activities that go hand in hand with our Ohio Academic Content Standards.  I hope that your children use and enjoy them!

 

timezattack
   
This is a terrific game that I introduced in the classroom.  It works on multiplication facts 2's - 12's.  When you click on the link, you will have to download the "base" version (for free home use).  Once you have downloaded the game, you should have an icon on your desktop that your child can click on anytime to play.
     
These two websites help students with learning prefixes.
This game will help students practice suffixes.
            
In these games, students are working on common and proper nouns.
This is a new game that will help students work on synonyms and definitions. 
first_school_years_400 
This is a great interactive website to help with synonyms (words that mean the same as another word),  The students get to create their own teacher and make him/her walk the plank by answering synonym questions.

Ohio Treasure Chest activities correlate with the Ohio Academic Content Standards.  If there is any area in which your child is struggling this is a great website for him/her to use.  Your child can choose from many different games and activities.

 

internet_4_classrooms           

            Internet 4 Classrooms is another great website in which your child can work on certain skills through fun and exciting activities and games.  This is another webpage that goes hand-in-hand with our academic content standards.

                

This site walks the students through area and perimeter.  Then has practice problems.

             This game will help your child become faster with his/her addition and multiplication skills.

This a great interactive website that is colorful and fun.  All of the games are for 3rd graders, but if you would like your child to have more of a challenge you can also change the grade level at the top of the page.
