Some Very Good Web Sites

The children have asked me to post some of our favorite sites.  Here are some that we enjoy.

Tumble books
http://library.pe.ca/

You can click on "Tumble Books" to the right side of the screen.  We have been working on fiction and non fiction text.  Tumble books has some great examples of both.  Ask your child the difference between the two.

Tux Paint

 http://tuxpaint.org/download/

This is a program we started off with in the computer lab at the first of the year.  It is a lot of fun.

This is a cool video to help explain vowel teams.  It is from http://www.starfall.com/

Jolly Songs

These are not the same songs that we have been doing in class but the actions are.

How to print upper case letters

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt9caJcLEWs

We use this in class with the mini white boards to practice printing our letters.

Common Sense Media

http://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews

OK so this one is not one that the students recommended but I really like it.  If you would like to know about movies that are coming out, it is a really great site to let you know what the content of the movie is and then you are able to decided if that is something you want your child to view.  It also has video game and book reviews and ratings.  Please check it out!
