2. Dr. Seuss' Website 
-fun games and activities for the classroom, who doesn't love Dr. Seuss? 

3. National Geographic Website 
-this is a great website for kids who are interested in science, we will be using it for one of our research projects in our science class this year.

Check out these links, they are some of my favourite places on the web!  

A Useful Resource

Now that we have started work on our novel study unit, you will have weekly journal entries to hand in, as well as your final assignment. In all the writing you do this year, grammar counts! It makes your writing easier to read and your meaning clearer when you use proper grammer. A site that I find useful for tricky grammar problems is Grammar Girl. This site has both podcasts and articles that make difficult grammar concpets remarkably easy!

Welcome!
