World Maths Day is upon us!    It is on March 3, 2010.  Many students at our school have been practicing for it.  It is a website where your child goes and competes against other students from around the world with their math facts.  Students were given logins by their teachers.  They can practice online at home too.  Check it out!

How can we (teachers and parents) keep kids safe on the internet?  The internet offers so many good tools for us to use in our daily lives from keeping an online calendar to chatting with friends.  But it also can be harmful to your child or student if others are not using it in a positive manner.  Check out the Cyber Safety link to the right.  I’ve added another great website that you can work through with your child or students on how to keep them safe on the internet.

Just added a couple of new science links.  Check out the science link on the right.

I found a really good website that works on many fundamental skills that students need to know.  It is in Cross Curriculuar Links and it is called Educational Games, Worksheets,…. or click on this link.
