Kids, I added 100 multiplication activities to our Educational Downloads section. They are under the heading called Multiplication Fun. Feel free to download and print them out. Return them to school and get a prize after completing 10 of them! Click on the picture to go right there.

By the way, kids, make sure that you make sure you bring home your take home folders. We need to get better at doing that. Parents, please bug your kids to make sure they are coming home! Thanks!

Here is the classwork for the day:

I have added lots of books to the "Kids Picks" section of our book shop. I have also added items to the "Software" section of our shop. Feel free to browse around. If you have and questions, feel free to email me.

I want to remind you kids first that we have a PRIDE Assembly on Friday morning. Please remember to wear your blue Pride shirts Friday morning.

PARENTS - - - I have added an Amazon store to this site. Feel free to browse, even though there is not much there yet. I will be adding dozens of books. I would love suggestions, also. Treat this store like a like the traditional book orders from schools, but you get to purchase without cash and get the books sent directly to you.

PARENTS - - - I have also added an Educational Downloads area, too. Right now there are math fact timed tests galore in it. If you would like your child to get some extra practice, download away! If you would like your child to get a head start practicing multiplication, feel free to take as many of those as you want. Challenge your child to a math fact race! They are getting pretty fast.

Lastly, I will be busy tonight watching the MacWorld Expo Keynote by Steve Jobs. Its Apple's release of all of their way cool new technologies. Here is the classwork for the day:

Just wanted to let you know that I have added a new tab to the top of the page. It is called Shop/Downloads. This page has two links, one for our shop and one for educational downloads.

With she Shop page you can shop with Mom and Dad for books, software, and other things. Think of it just like the traditional book order forms, but you do it all in your own home and the things you buy come right to your home in a package! I am an Amazon affiliate, which means that I can recommend and sell the products they sell on my site. All money (and it is not a lot! ) goes right back into paying for hosting and bandwidth of Marchionda.org. So, think of your purchases as donating a few cents to our classroom website. You can tell me what types of books, software and other things you want in our store. Over time it should be quite a cool place. Remember that you must be with Mom and Dad to use the shop, just like in the real world!

The Educational Downloads area is going to be a place for paper and pencil games and drilling activities. I have put up all of our Rocket Math and will be adding other math games soon. I will also add up some readers and many other activities shortly. Keep on checking back!

Lastly, you will need a password and username to access these pages. If you do not remember it from class, email me and I will let you know what they are. Click around and have fun! See you in school.
