Hi,

Came across this free site for playing instrumental music for babies. 

http://www.radio4baby.com/the-music

Enjoy!

I am interested.  Count me in.

I want to share a great website I was just given the link to: http://quizlet.com/

This is an awesome website that lets you create flash cards of ANY kind and you can use them to play games online. It is super neat! You can also view and use flash cards that other people have made.

I like the spanish ones that have been created, it has voice too.

Finally, I was able to download and install the Math program to my D drive.  Orbit downloader worked very well and made my  job easier.  Thank You Kmum.

I love the program already

For those of you who used "Orbit Downloader",  were you  able to install it in any other drive other than C?  or does it have to be installed only in C?

Teachers and Homeschool Parents Can Take Advantage of Unique Free Spelling Curriculum at K12Reader.com
 
 
 
FRANKLIN, Tenn., June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- K12Reader.com, an online resource for reading instruction, has launched a free K-5 spelling curriculum that incorporates sight words, academic vocabulary and grade-level appropriate word patterns.
The K12Reader.com free spelling words curriculum incorporates all 1,000 Fry sight words and grade-school academic vocabulary based on science, social studies, mathematics and language arts standards. The new curriculum also incorporates grade-level appropriate patterns for words, focusing on word families, prefixes and suffixes, and word origins.
The spelling curriculum was created by Glenda Rhea, a veteran elementary school teacher who also holds a master's degree in education with an emphasis on curriculum and instruction.
"The program is especially useful because it includes dictation sentences to remind students that spelling words do not occur in isolation," said Rhea. "The curriculum allows the teacher/parent a weekly opportunity to assess the student's skills in applying language rules, such as capitalization and punctuation. The sentences also reinforce the correct meaning and usage of the words."
The K12Reader.com brand was created to support K-12 teachers and parents in their efforts to teach reading, said Jerry Charles, publisher of K12Reader.com.
"With the new, free spelling word curriculum, we are providing a way to reinforce an important component of literacy development," Charles said.
Each grade includes 36 weeks of spelling word lists including printable practice worksheets, a master word list, and weekly dictation sentences. First-grade spelling words through fifth-grade spelling words are all available on K12Reader.com and free to use in classrooms or at home.
K12Reader.com also provides sight words teaching tips and worksheets on Dolch sight words along with other resources.
About K12Reader.com
K12Reader was launched in 2008 as a free reading resource site for teachers and parents. The site has grown to serve more than 30,000 monthly visitors with reading instruction articles and hundreds of free, printable worksheets on a variety of areas including nouns, verbs, punctuation, spelling, sight words and more. The K12Reader.com editors regularly add free resources with plans to add a free reading comprehension curriculum in August.

I am having trouble too 

I think you can dowload the program only to your C drive and it will need alteast 2 GM.  I have 1.7 GB in my C drive and it was not letting me download.  I wrote to the team at Funnix and they said to try to increase the memory.
Will try to free up some memory and will let you know.

Go to

http://funnix.com/

In Jan of this year they offered their English program for free.  I use it regularly.  It is a great product and can't beat the price - FREE.

Now they are giving away their Math program.  I haven't downloaded it yet, wanted to share it with you guys before downloading it.  I am sure it will as great as their English program.

Enjoy
Heath

Hi

No, we didn't have a chance to meet. 

A blog I read had a post about Latin.  So sharing it here

http://practicalpages.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/lets-learn-common-latin-words/

Eventhough I never studied Latin, it turns out that I know a lot of Latin words 

http://oedb.org/library/beginning-online-learning/50-common-latin-phrases-every-college-student-should-know

Sorry, don't have any personal reference... As I said, I got it from another group.  Somebody was using it and they like it.  I don't know the age of their kids.

I will send a note to them and ask them to join here and provide more information.

Got it from another group.  Sounds interesting so sharing it...
