Math and Reading Pages
While reading my RSS feeds this weekend, I came across these excellent pages. Students and parents may use these page links to review Math skills and Practice reading skills. The story pages address Beginning Readers and the Classics. Thank you, Johnnie.

Coach Works on Eye-Hand Coordination
Coach Mary Underwood and the White Oak Education Foundation/PTO have joined together to provide opportunities for our students to learn to juggle scarves. It sounds much easier than it is. And what are the benefits?
The students must use right brain and left brain together and cross mid-line with their bodies in order to juggle. Also this activity improves eye-hand coordination and concentration. Our teachers are always thinking outside the box to bring new challenges to our students.
Thank you, Coach, for making physical education so much fun while improving academics all at the same time.
A Must View for All Teachers!
If you have not taken the time lately to explore the links on the sidebars of our White Oak Elementary blog, then you may be missing out on some invaluable tools. Recently added was a link to Russell Stannard’s Teacher Training Videos. If you are a teacher who has been wanting to incorporate some technology into your lessons but you just do not have the time to get with someone to learn how, this site is going to be one of your favorites. If you are a parent whose child has their own blog for writing and sharing (which you can create for free at WordPress), then this site will give you loads of ideas for enhancing that blog.
*A QUICK NOTE — ALL of our third graders and fifth graders already have their own blog pages and can access them at home!
I recommend that you subscribe via email on the right side of Russell Stannard’s blog, and I further recommend that you take a closer look at the helpful links on the White Oak Elementary blog as well.
