Pretty good apps!

Hi Parents,

I have been asked to recommend some of the apps we use in class on our ipods and ipads. Most of these work on the iphone too, but I don't know the other devices out there. I'm just an apple person. Some that I like are:

Math Bingo Games-A Racing Game for Kids by Tap to Learn (new and free last week!)

*Word Bingo and Math Bingo (both are excellent)

Rocket Math-great math concept and fact review

Scribblenauts-not great, but it gets kids writing and they love it!

Counting Money-any of these are good.

I also like mad libs for sentence structure and parts of speech.

I will post more next week. Here are our spelling words: brush, truck, dump, junk. plump, husk, trunk, crumb, shrewd, strewn, whew, brew, true, clue, blue, glue Bonus: pollution, recycle, reuse, truth

Great Job Purple Group!

A wonderful reader's theater was presented to the class this week by our friends. They had great expression and smooth fluency because they had practiced a LOT! I'm so proud of them!

New Spelling Words: churn, blurt, purple, nature, injure, future, hurt, burn, draw, paw, jaws, lawn, couch, pouch, slouch, touch. Bonus:hurricane, tsunami (Emmie's word) typhoon, earthquake. Have a great week!

Next Week's Words..

Here are the new spelling words: flower, water, under, over, better, sister, brother, mother, father, after, other, center, tower, shower, cower, power,. These are easy-peasy (mostly) review words that are critical building blocks for our students. I hope to see lots of 100% scores!

Another Short Week!

No new spelling words this week, we will be doing some word work in class (spelling sight words and adding suffixes) I am looking forward to seeing all of you this week at SEP's!
