Good Learning Web Sites

Hello everyone,
If you look at the green side bar to the right of this posting, you'll see I have a collection of bookmarks on Delicious.com. Click on the "mrbrownroom9" link to see the web-based activities I have selected.


Tumblebooks are an on-line, interactive reader and is hosted by the Hamilton Public Library. It has a big selection of story books that are read out loud to practice reading. A trial account can be requested.

March Break Reading

I have sent home some books at your child's learning level. Please take some quality time each day to have your child share one of the books with you. I hope you'll take a minute to record the reading and to comment on how your reading time went.

Thank you for your partnership, as always!
