Greetings!

You've been invited to use a vocabulary set on Quizlet. Quizlet is a tool that helps you and your friends learn vocabulary.

The vocabulary set is called 1st Grade US Symbols. It has 5 terms, which include:

1. White House: The President of the U.S.A lives here. It is in Washington, DC. 2. Bald Eagle: This is another symbol of freedom for the United States. It is not really bald. It has white feathers on its head that makes it look bald. 3. Presidential Seal: This has an American bald eagle holding a ribbon in its beak. The eagle is clutching an olive branch in one foot (symbolizing peace) and 13 arrows in the other. 4. Statue of Liberty: This statue is in New York Harbor. She holds a torch that stands for freedom. 5. Liberty Bell: This is a big bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This bell stands for freedom. Some people say that this bell rang when they first read the Declaration of Independence.

[] I created this card set to help my students review their Spanish vocabulary. You can explore the capabilities of Flashcard Exchange by visiting this site. Valerie Haslett, KMS

Use this file to help you create a Memory game to help your students review material using the Smartboard. Click on Edit and then either drag pictures onto the tiles or type right onto them. The file even gives the students feedback regarding how many turns they needed to complete the game. Valerie Haslett, KMS

Use this file to create your own game board for use on the Smartboard. To make changes to the questions, first unlock the gameboard and un-group the items. After you make your changes, don't forget to re-group and lock the items. Valerie Haslett, KMS

I created this series of virtual flash cards on flashcardmachine.com for my students to use as vocabulary practice in preparation for our unit test on World War Two. I built a secret "Bonus Card" for students to print out and submit for 5 bonus points to test how many kids actually used my card set. I also encouraged my students to create a flashcardmachine.com account to share in groups, so they could each contribute to the set of cards for the next unit test. Below is a link for my set.

Dewpoint Lab Homework and Practice 7th Grade Science - students used the SPARK learning system to collect data related to condensation and dew point - the activity made learning about these concepts more realistic and understandable for students because they saw condensation occur before their eyes and were able to match the temperature at which this occured with the humidity chart. - it was also a great activity to compare results between individuals in the classroom and use it to discuss reasons for variations in the data - for more information on this activity, please contact Brian Scott at bscott@worthington.k12.oh.us

Flashcards for Vocabulary Practice [|www.QUIZLET.com] is a free website that teachers can use to enable students to practice / review key terms. The cards can be viewed in two configurations: both word & definition on the same card for learning new material or the traditional front side (term) / backside (definition) arrangement for review. This site has two additional features that make it superior to other flashcard sites: 1) games and other play forms; and 2) quizzes for self-evaluation. lflynn Worthingway MS

Letter Recognition Practice This started as a homework activity, but half of my children have not been doing it so I have been taking all my students to the computer lab to complete at school so they have the practice. Prior to going to the lab, I have the children first use a Picture Dictionary to find a word that starts with the letter of the week. Once they have their word, together we write the word on a sentence strip. We then take the sentence strip with us to the computer lab and the children use Word to find a picture. They type the word that is on their sentence strip using the keyboard to find the letters. Once they have found their picture they print it and we place it in their letter book.

My sophomore BESS students just completed a Powerpoint project on Ecosystems, part of which included a section on biogeochemical cycles. To help them prepare and expand on the information they would need to include on these cycles, I used our new BESS digital CD-ROM textbook to create the attached homework assignment which focused on these cycles (the water cycle, carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle). The students worked through the appropriate sections of the digital text, completing some interactive activities embedded in the text as well as a written section that was submitted to me. Our new digital text was created by Mark Maley and Ron Pilatowski at Linworth and provides students with lots of opportunities to review and practice BESS content through interactive activities incorporated into the CD-ROM.

[|www.quizlet.com] I am using this website to help my middle school reading lab students learn and review OAA literary terms and text features. The students can learn the terms using flashcards. Next they practice with the terms by playing several games. Finally, they take a test over the terms. Students can retake the test as many times as needed until they get 100%. (Linda Evans, McCord)
