Today's TIP from our Teacher Resources
After the holidays, many of you may be doing your winter back-to-school budgets. Here are two ideas to consider:
- Purchase a Vocabulary SpellingCity Premium Membership:
- At $24.99 for up to five students ($4.99 per student per year), it is priced to fit into even the tightest budgets.
- Your students will have access to all the Premium Games, Learning Activities & Tests.
- You will benefit from automated record-keeping as well as student and list grouping.
- You know it will have a positive educational impact on your students.
 Check out Time4Learning.com. It is an educational site that takes a new approach to learning by integrating today's technology. The convenient, online home education program combines learning with fun educational teaching games in subjects as varied as Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies.
