Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

March 2 is the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss.  Seussville is a website full of information about the author and his books.  You can also find videos, educational games and even special pages for parents and teachers.  Have fun remembering one of our culture's most beloved authors!

Vocab Genii

Vocab Genii is a great vocabulary activity that offers an excellent challenge and allows you to track and share your progress with other people.  Both your overall score (based on the number of words you correctly identified) and your word strength (based on the difficulty of the words) are judged.

I would not recommend this site for anyone needing an extra challenge, and the difficulty level can become pretty significant.

4A Study Island High Scores

A whole slew of students from 4A made the State high score table today.  Gabby Dammkoelher hit 4th place on the Banana Toss game for Heat Energy with a score of 3660.  Andrew Eisenhardt scored 250 on the Penalty Kick game for Heat Energy earning 2nd place.  Josh Astronomo also hit a high score of 220 in Penalty Kick placing him 5th.  Andrew Laughery took 3rd place in Island Hopping for Classifying Animals with a score of 1068.  Great job everyone!
