Vacation+ideas

Try some of these activities ...
 * Are you looking for books for your child to read but aren't sure where to start? Here is a link to a site that can help you narrow down your choices by grade, topic or reading level. Go ahead and create a list of books here, then head to the Windham Public Library to borrow a few. Happy reading! [] ||


 * **Christmas Tree Puzzle** - The instructions are to click all the balls and connector pieces to form a grid that allows the yellow electricity to fill every one. It makes me think of a science class and forming electric circuits. Have fun! [] ||


 *  **FreeRice** is a fun flashcard-like activity that can review vocabulary, art, chemistry, geography, languages, and math. With each correct answer 10 grains of rice appear in a bowl; get more answers correct and the bowl fills. Sponsors pay into the United Nations World Food Program and the same number of rice grains you win really do go to a hungry person somewhere in the world. [] ||


 *  **Bobbie Bear** - See how many outfits you can create for Bobbie. [] ||


 *  **Starfall** - Visit this site for some reading fun. Most children are familiar with this site because we do access it in the classroom on the laptops. [] ||


 *  **Night Before Christmas** - Try this game just for fun! [] ||

[] ||
 *  **How Many are Under the Shell** - After the octopus hides some bubbles under a shell, he then either adds more bubbles or takes some away. Students have to determine how many bubbles are left under the shell.


 * **Concentration** - Play by yourself or against a friend to form pairs. Match numbers, shapes, fractions, or multiplication facts to equivalent representations. The game can be used to practice facts by using the clear pane mode, or for an added challenge, play the game with the windows closed. [] ||


 * **Penguins on Ice** - Penguins on Ice has three options: sort words into a sentence, add punctuation, or fill in a word to make sense. [] ||


 * **Money Count** - Practice counting coins. [] ||


 * **Mad Libs** - Select nouns, verbs, and other words to create your own funny story that you can print and read. [] ||


 * **Stop the Clock** - Practice telling the time with this activity. [] ||


 * **Deep Sea Dual** - Try getting to the target number before the octopus does. This will be our last activity for this vacation. See everyone on the 4th. [] ||
