5/6
Crew Calender
This
year has really been a very interesting one with the kids. The first
two expeditions strengthened them as a group and fortified their
critical thinking skills. I have enjoyed working with them.
Here
is an updated list of curriculum and achievement report changes and
general information for the remainder of the school year. There are a
few adjustments from the beginning of the year.

SEE the SITES :)
I am also testing ALEKs for math (not free, subscription needed). www.aleks.com We had a pilot in our first year, but looking at it again. You can try it for free.
www.apangea.com--This one is free and the one we currently use two days a week. It can be accessed at home. The kids know their user names and passwords.
www.khanacademy.org--This one is free and the kids are familiar with it. I have used this one since our first year.
school.typingpal.com-This is program is the one the school ordered last month after testing the free ones out there. We had pretty good success with BBC typing, but the kids liked the feedback from this program. This can be accessed at home. The kids know their user names and passwords.
I'll be sending a paper copy of the updated calender home in the planner too. You can have the kids put it by the 'Fridge Log' in the kitchen.
I look forward to seeing everyone!
Ms. Bonzo
