New Book Review: The Penderwicks at Point Mouette
By Jeanne BirdsallPages: 295
Best for Ages: 8-13 (and younger for read-aloud!)
Call Number: J Birdsall, J.
The Penderwicks are back! But this time torn apart—Mr. Penderwick has flown off to England with the lovely Iantha for their honeymoon, Rosalind is going on a much needed vacation to New Jersey with a school friend, leaving soccer and science loving Skye as the Oldest Available Penderwick (or OAP) for the first time to take care of younger sisters Jane and Batty as they visit Main with Aunt Claire.
This is the longest that the sisters have ever been apart and Skye isn’t sure she’s up to the challenge—Can she keep Jane from falling in love head over heels (literally) for the first boy who rolls by on his skate board? Can she keep Hoover, the small dog next door from terrorizing their own dog Hound? Can she keep Batty from blowing up? Luckily the Penderwicks good friend Jeffery is back and loving his music more than ever (especially when the next door neighbor lets him play his piano). But Jeffery has some discoveries of his own to make…
What I like best about the Penderwick series is that each sister gets to tell part of the story—Not only do we know the stress that Skye is under, but also how much Batty misses Rosalind, and what motivates Jane to learn all about love for her writing. While this third installment will make most sense if you’re already familiar with the Penderwicks from their first or second book, each character is fully developed and important points are revisited so even if you jump in with number three you’ll enjoy the vacationing sisters as their lives change at Point Mouette.
The perfect start to Summer Vacation!

Hot Links - Delicious websites to feed hungry young minds.
The left margin of this blog is entitled "Internet Integration in the Classroom" and it is composed of a number of great educational websites. The problem is there are so many links, the type face is small and its not easy to understand how the entries have been organized. To help you find what you are looking for I am going to list the very best of my suggestions here, with a brief description of what you and your child will find at the websites. By the way, you might find some sites require you to update your Flash or Shockwave software, its free, safe and worth doing. Once installed the updates enhances how the activities perform and your child's enjoyment of them. One final thought, the younger the student the more assistance you will need to provide.
Have a great year!!

Best Educational Portal for Parents & Teachers -
Internet for Classrooms
A portal is a starting place or entrance, if you have a specific content area you want to work on with your child this is a good place to begin. The content areas are aligned with standards for the different grade levels allowing you focus on specific skills to practice or investigate. By the way parents, if you feel you want to brush up on your computer skills you might want to have a look at the on-line tutorials.

When mathematics drills are fun they take on the energy of a game. This website offers activities that foster mastery of fundamental math facts. They also have a number of great language arts activities as well.
A GREAT WEBSITE
A GREAT WEBSITE
Interactive painting site that is easy to navigate, save, email and use. The site incorporates a feature that allows the artist to frame their work and observe it along side the works of other artists, which is really cool.
Its Free, its Fun and it really helps students learn how to type. There are many keyboarding alternatives on the internet, which you'll find in older posts. In the meantime, after students have mastered the basics, they can have fun testing their new found skills at FREE TYPING GAMES.
This is a well designed site for the student who is interested in science but doesn't have a specific area they want to research. The site puts fourth basic concepts using interactive activities which include sound. You enter the site through ages 5-6 or 7-8 and then you have choices listed in the right hand margin that are appropriate for older students.
Most requested MATH GAME Site
Logic, spatial relationships, brain twisters and BLOXORZ
students can't seem to get enough of this site.
Popular Math Activity Site - Goofy Smart Kids
Best Math Practice - Oswego Games
Two other alternatives you might want to consider are:

Best Geography Suggestion - GOOGLE EARTH
If you don't have this program on your computer, download it now for free!
Google Earth allows your child to explore both the earth, the sky and the sea. It isn't the easiest program to use at first (unless you view the tutorial) , primarily because of its many features, but the more you explore the easier it gets. Try using it to plan a vacation, visit friends in foreign places (does that include Big Fork, Mt?) or just find out more about our spectacular state. If you choose not to down load the program you can always use Google Maps.
Best Geography Game (is now harder to find, follow this link) - GEOSPY
A third grade, Spanish speaking student, asked me to locate a website that might help her learn another language. I assumed she meant English, which she speaks, writes and reads rather well, so I suggested Pumarosa, but I was wrong. She wants to learn another language and having used the BBC for Math, Typing and Science I am confident they will handle language in a similar manner, hence my recommendation.
Most Creative Options at One Site -
Whatever your taste in fine art, be it classical to modern, realism or abstract, this site has an activity that will engage your child. Well worth a visit.
As someone who is not schooled in classical music, I was excited to find a site that could enrich my understanding and appreciation. I believe parents and children alike will appreciate what they'll uncover on this website.
The developers of this site call it "the Amusement Park on the Web" and it lives up to the hype. Your child can find links to many of the most popular kids sites on the internet all at one location (ie: Neopets, Club Penguin, Webkinz). While at the same time, there are links to some worthwhile educational fun sites including Discovery Kids, Professor Garfield, BBC's Bitesize Revision, Fun School as well as MANY others.
Text - to - Movie -Xtranormal
This site was not created for elementary age students,it contains work that might offend some people's sensibilities, younger students should be accompanied by an adult. Having said that, if a student can type they can make movies, this site encourages writing in a way few other sites can.
Animators in Training - ANIBOOM
This site was not created for elementary age students,it contains work that might offend some people's sensibilities and takes some time to master. Understanding that, this site gives the student the ability to create animated shorts and work in a 21st century medium. I have been amazed at the work of our students on this site.
I'm told this site is a collaboration between M.I.T. and U.C.L.A., resulting in a playground for future game designers, your kids. Students have an opportunity to create their own schemes and try the work of others. Once again, another site that takes some time to master but, it is worth the effort. The site gives adults a chance to see the future of gaming through the eyes of students.
Another really popular activity on the computer is creating music in Garage Band (found on most Apple computers). This site allows any student with a desire to experiment to do just that online. Though we never used this site in the classroom, it is definitely something students are interested in and a manner of creativity that will become more common place in the near future.

Tales For Very Picky Eaters
by Josh Schneider
2011
early reader
If you know a picky eater like I do, you may both get a chuckle out of this book. My picky eater insists on reading this book over and over. It contains five stories, all revolving around yucky things to eat: disgusting broccoli, smelly lasagna, repulsive milk, lumpy oatmeal and slimy eggs.
The book involves one boy (aka the picky eater), his dog, and his dad. In each story the dad finds ingenious ways to get the boy to eat his food. Prechewed gum, dirt, sweaty socks, basement trolls and rat circuses-they are all in here. There are clever cautions about why it might be good not to drink your milk or what happens if you don't eat growing oatmeal.
The book is silly and fun. The stories are short but both clever and hilarious.-sc-
