Reading Buddies Friday!

Today, you will take your Reading Buddy to a couple of interactive web sites so that they (and you) can practice some work skills.  Before they arrive, however, why not navigate to the sites and practice yourself so that you know how to work the site?

Each image below, MadWords peepsles, is a link to the site!

Your choices for today include:

Word Wizard

                                                                                                    Picture Match

   What’s in the Bag?

In two words:  At home.

Bored children by zen Sutherland

In three words:  Kind of bored.

Not that reading good stuff, watching swell flicks, and messing with tech stuff on my laptop and phone aren’t fun–it just gets old after a bit is all.

Plus, I have never been a “sit around” kind of guy.  I like to keep moving.  And it is a bit chilly to jump on my bike and go for a trek (plus, I am not supposed to do much “jumping” for a while, so there’s that).

I look forward to getting back into my classroom and thinking and walking around and talking and thinking and, well, you get the point.

So, I look forward to seeing everyone’s sparkling smiles and interesting questions next Monday!

Take care, and see you all very soon.

The Chapter 1 Test in MadMath is next Tuesday, October 15.

How well you do will have a large impact upon your current grade in math class.

Want to do well?  Good!

One way (besides studying each section in the book and paying a lot of attention to your WEAKEST areas) is to take and retake the HRW interactive quizzes.  Watch the video below to find out how to navigate to the site.
