Science - Forces and Movement (les forces et le mouvement)

If you have not had a chance to explore the following website with your child, please give it a try.  We spent some time there today during our computer lab period and the students really loved it.  It is a fantastic review of the concepts in our Forces and Movement science unit.

spelling practise

This is an excellent website for students who need to practice weekly spelling lists or for word study programs.     http://www.spellingcity.com/
You type in the list words and the website creates online games and interactive activities with the words as a focus. Students can also do their spelling test on line. They click on a button and it reads the word to them. They can click on another button and it reads a sentence with the word in it. It does not work so well with French words, but great to review those English words!
