Tomorrow....

Tomorrow, I will be making oranges using Lightwave Modeler. Today, I made an abstract version of a banana and colored it in with Modeler. Overall, I need a lot of practice and patience to work with multimedia design programs and tools....

Software Review of Picture It!

Picture It is a great tool for students with disabilities and other students as well. Here, the teacher can create sentences and put graphic images over the sentences and audio to see and hear what is written.

Software Review of I Love Math!

I Love Math! is a program where you can practice lots of different math for 2nd to 5th graders. It has questions created by the program developer and has a progress report after doing each activity segment.

Review of Starfall

Starfall is another great website to visit. Here kids can learn basic reading to higher levels of reading. There are virtual characters that move and can read the story to you if you want. It also includes worksheets.

Review of Activities for ESL Students

Activies for ESL Students is a great resource for ESOL students and educators to stop by and take fun learning quizzes, vocabulary, and grammar. You can also listen to podcasts.

Review of Social Studies for Kids

Social Studies for Kids is a website by a social studies educator who updates a lot about social studies. Here you can find history, sports, government, and other subject matter. A great resource for a report.

Review of Aplusmath

Aplusmath is another great site to visit. Here students, parents, and teachers can find general and advanced math to do. It's very kid friendly and is highly recommended. 

Quick Review of Internet4classrooms

The Lady Gouldian poem

An olive green juvenile finch growing slowly.
a touch of color coming in weekly,
a hint of red, orange, or black masked face,
with a ring of black and sky blue around its face.
Its back becoming yellow, dark blue, or green.
Loving vegetables, egg food, millet, and fruit too. 

An Example of My own Limerick

There was once a Lady Gouldian named Harry.
Whose mask was as red as a cherry.
He danced and sang with ease,
Wanting to share his love for someone special, if you please.
Let's bring him some millet,
and if you drop it,
the millet will grow into a green leafy bush.

An Example of a Short Tall Tale


Adam the ape, Alvin the armadillo, and Alex the alligator decided to go to Alberto, Alabama to get some apple juice from a grocery store. People in the grocery store were surprised to see the unlikely group of animals walking hand in hand together. The three friends just said “hello” to everyone that stared at them and got the apple juice they wanted. “We are not dangerous. We just came here to buy apple juice,” said Adam. So, they gave the grocery store cashier two dollars and off they went to have some apple juice in the park.
