The resources, lessons, and tools are amazing. I highly recommend browsing through the site. The web-based applets (small programs) cover all strands of math and can be used by all grade levels. I have tried just a small percentage of the tools and my students have loved using all of them. http://knowledgefarm.blogspot.com/2006/11/national-library-of-virtual.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (KnowledgeFarmer)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15291505.post-8321782284944700212Wed, 18 Oct 2006 12:14:00 +00002006-11-20T08:46:46.863-05:00Language ArtsRead Write ThinkReadingReading RocketsReading and Language Arts resources.I would like to share two excellent resources for reading and language arts in todays tech tips.

Working on Word or Office documents in multiple places can be quite challenging. One computer might have the program and another might not. The versions may be different or a host of other issues can cause it to be very difficult. ThinkFree.com, Writely.com*, and zohowriter.com are all web based "Word-like" word processors.

The last day of the school year for students! Wow! This year has flown by . I can't believe how quickly it has gone. Now is a time to rejoice, reflect, and rejuvenate. We get to rejoice and celebrate so many success that all our students have had throughout the year. I wish our 5th graders the best of luck as they move on to new adventures http://knowledgefarm.blogspot.com/2006/05/end-of-year-awards.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (KnowledgeFarmer)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15291505.post-113768618676982830Thu, 19 Jan 2006 15:45:00 +00002006-05-18T00:08:38.276-04:00This picture was taken this morning in front of the school. 8:40 am and still frost on the ground! It was 46 degrees Fahrenheit and slowly starting to warm up. I am not a big fan of cold weather but it is neat to see changes in seasons. South Florida, which is where I moved from, had summer and summer lite. Those were the only two seasons.School update: The CRCT online practice tests are going http://knowledgefarm.blogspot.com/2006/01/this-picture-was-taken-this-morning-in.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (KnowledgeFarmer)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15291505.post-113448234470050623Tue, 13 Dec 2005 13:49:00 +00002005-12-13T09:30:18.186-05:00 I can't believe 2005 is almost gone. We have had a wonderful year so far. This is a picture of Ms. Coleman with the Principal's club kidstaken in November. They got to have some treats and playground time with Ms. Coleman.
