Website Testimonial
by a 5th grade Chicago Elementary Teacher - Mrs. Lorraine Zeiler "I use these websites on our classroom computer:
Once we pick a category, like Kernels, I tell the kids to go to "Flashcards" first to learn the facts. It reinforces the CORN Ag Mags. Then they can go to one of the games like Concentration which uses the facts on flashcards. http://www.moomilk.com/index/html
The first 2 give facts and teach, followed by quiz and then fun with dots. You can also get to that site through this one:
Last one on farming that I have is: http://www.ilcorn.org This was stated in the corn Ag Mag, so I checked it out. I went to Education (on left side I think) and clicked on that, and lo and behold...Captain CORNelius Comics! That was a surprise for us. The kids thought that was great. Another site I used last spring and will use again for understanding
how plants grow, etc. is:
It is "The Great Plant Escape" by Univ. of IL. It is a series of mysteries that the kids can "solve" so it's very interactive, which is the best." |
