Thursday Quick Tips

By


Start your school day with a giggle (or a full-out belly chuckle laugh, in our case.) While eating breakfast, the kids will sometimes watch an episode of America's Funniest Videos on Netflix on the iPad. Sometimes they practically choke on their cereal because they are laughing so hard. This seems to get the crazies out, and they are ready to settle down and do some school work. (And, btw, sometimes they do the same thing at lunch.)

    We just introduced our kindergarten sidekick to AFV and he chortles away when he's watching it. Love the idea of starting the day with it!

A Thomas Jefferson Education "This Week in History" ~ Schoolhouse Review

By
Talk about a GOLD MINE! A Thomas Jefferson Education's This Week in History by Rachel DeMille is her "labor of love" ... and I absolutely LOVE it! " This Week in History is a daily resource that brings your home school or classroom to life." For just $9.99 per month, you can log onto TJEd.com and click the "This Week in History" link to obtain many, many, many resources tied to specific events that occurred in the upcoming week in history. Or even better, you can receive the summaries and links to ALL resources right in your email Inbox each week! It doesn't get any easier than that! What does this really look like in real life?

ABCya

By
Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.
