TEACHERS &
STAFF: I have tried
to capture the best sites to tie into this nine week's Virginia
Standards of
Learning. If you need something more on a particular topic,
please email me.
Our
Portaportal
Page has been reorganized. Please check it out.
BRADLEY'S
ONLINE ACTIVITIES

PRE K TO ?: This is an incredible
site to use in teaching all aspects of English. It uses a Flash
Plug In to keep students actively involved with fun learning
activities. This would make a great center activity or could be
done in the computer lab. This is also great to use with ESL or
ELL students.

K TO 5: During testing and at the
end of the year, schedules change and things get out of the
routine. Here are some great educational time fillers you can use
for those off times. This site helps to turn "down time" into
learning time.
Resource Sites
for Testing
Since test time is
approaching, this may be a site someone
might like to use for practice.
Edinformatics
list of all the state sites for practice and released test items.
J-Lab also has practice
questions for math and science. The last page of the test
provides a record. The student can add their name and print out
the record for scoring.
Texas
Released Items- printable and online interactive versions
Tami
Maloney's site is wonderful!
I am starting a
test
prep page. It is very sparten right now but I will be adding
to it as I can.
Since April Is The Month for
Showers, Here Are
Testing Tips from Noah
One: Don't miss the boat.
Two: Remember that we are all in the same
boat.
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah
built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old,
someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on
with the job that needs to be done.
Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The
snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs;
the Titanic by professionals.
EARTH DAY POEM
by
Jane Yolen
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass,
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally.
That's why we
Celebrate this day.
That's why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.
