Word List Repeated Next Week

Due to the short week next week I will be keeping the same word list for next week! (See previous post for List A & B)

Dream Box

Dream Box has been added to symbaloo! I know you probably do not want another website to remember but this is a VERY interactive math resource that our school has purchased for the students. Everyone had a chance to play today and the consenses is that the kids love it.The logins are a little different than our other sites. It is just the six digit student id code- no zeros needed.
For example;
username: 908811
password: 908811
Both are the same!
Enjoy!!
