New Spelling Site

2011-08-21T11:36:00.001-07:00

In order to help our students, I have added a link on the right to help with spelling words. Students can go there and play games and take prequizzes to help learn their words not only for their spelling tests but also to use in their writting.

Welcome

Country Projects

Students,
Your projects are coming due very quickly. You all are working very hard on Accerated Math and typing pal. I feel it is time to take a break from them and work on these projects to make them fabulous. This Thursday and Friday, I am going to give you computer time to work on your projects. Mrs. Polzer wants you to only print 5 outlines of your country and one world map for this project. I found some sites that focus more on outline maps.

Have fun. I can't wait to see the final projects.
