No, not in the literal sense. This is a great tool to study the sentence parts and parts of speech. When you open this PowerPoint, click on the question you want to answer; click on the key to get the question; answer the question that appears, then click in the white area to bring up the correct answer. Finally click on the house to return to the game board.

Fun for the entire family!

Having started our study of weather, we have learned about The Water Cycle, humidity, dewpoint, and most recently precipitation. Today the weather cooperated, and we have our first rainfall in many days. All must be right with the world, because I actually had an empty jar at home. When one has a rainy day and an empty jar, what should one do? Why, make a rain guage of course. Students carefully taped a plastic ruler to the jar, and we placed it outside our door, but only after discussing the variables we might encounter in comparing our measurement of rain for twenty-four hours to the official measurement.

We have started our study of The United States and Canada. So far we have covered physical geography and are in the midst of climate and vegetation. We have utilized vocabulary concept maps, identified places on and colored maps of North America. Vocabulary cards completed by the students from their concept maps became individual vocabulary Bingo games.

Coming soon...two column notes.
