I've had requests from a couple of students to post some math practice websites, and I found a few good ones today. Jamison also posted a comment about a math website he liked. Get on and practice, especially with your multiplication and division facts!
In addition, I wanted to let everyone know that the podcast recordings of our Underground Railroad presentations should be available sometime during the next week. Going through the technology involved with this project will take a little time the first time through. I'll keep you updated!

Some geography practice sites
Here are some websites that have online practice games to quiz yourself for our exams:
http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/World_Continents.htm - This website has practice games for the oceans and continents. Just choose which level you want to play at (you could do the "expert" level, fourth graders!).
http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/web_games.htm - This one has lots of different map games for the U.S.A.
http://www.eduplace.com/geonet/ - This has lots of map games, both for the world and for the U.S.A.
http://www.funbrain.com/grammar/index.html - Lots of grammar games with the "Grammar Gorillas"! Just choose beginner or advanced and get going!
http://www.netrover.com/~mary3384/noun/noun.html - Naming nouns, verbs, and adjectives to defeat an evil robot - what could be better?
If any of my students are reading this, I want to remind you to STUDY, especially for Social Studies, Science, and other classes where you have lots of vocabulary words to know and understand. Use your study guides, online games, books, notes, and any other materials you have. See you tomorrow!

Exam and Project Presentation Week
A reminder for fourth grade students: Bring all the materials from your research/conversation project (library research notes, project sheet, and written script) to class on Monday, and prepare yourself this weekend for a smooth presentation by rehearsing your lines and practicing clear, confident speaking.
I also invite you to comment on this blog with any review questions or problems for other students to solve and discuss. You can post an answer to a question someone else wrote (use their name in the post) or ask a new question. Come back and visit several times to see if there are any more questions you can answer! Here are two to get you started, one for reading and one for math:
Reading: Make a list of all the characters from our risks and consequences stories. Write a poem that describes one of them and his or her personality and actions! Share your poem on the blog.
Math: Concert tickets are on sale. Front-row tickets cost $35, center stage $25, balcony $15, T-shirts $10, and posters $8. John bought 2 front-row tickets for himself and his brother, 2 T-shirts, and 2 posters. How much did John spend? When you think you've got the answer, post it as a comment!
Also, remember that if you have a poll you'd like to give the class, write down the question and all your options and bring it to school for me.
