In like a Lion, yeah?
We had some crazy snow last week. It snowed all afternoon and into the night and piled up on the roads and the cars . . . and by the afternoon it was 58 degrees.
Gotta love spring in Utah.
Things are going well - plugging along like usual. Like you would expect for springtime, I should say. Students are getting a little restless and just a hair more out of control, but it's nothing out of the ordinary.
I'm loving my new spelling program, and I've got some new materials for reading comprehension, main idea, sight words and problem solving to go out on the shelves soon. Probably not this week, but soon.

Case Study
JS has been doing well. Her outbursts are fewer and further between, and when they do crop up, they're short-lived and easily managed. She's just growing up. Today she did seven works, and she was so proud of herself.
I was happy to discover your blog today. I was unable to find a contact link. I hope it's OK that I'm contacting you through a public comment. I've developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling and vocabulary words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child's spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software helps the child practice his or her words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists.
ReplyDeleteI would appreciate your reviewing SpellQuizzer in Dear Maria. If you are interested in hosting a giveaway of a SpellQuizzer license I'd be happy to supply a free license to the winner. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There's a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm and a community site where SpellQuizzer users can share their spelling lists with one another (http://www.SpellQuizzer.com/Community). Finally, there's a page targeted to homeschooling families at http://www.spellquizzer.com/spelling-software-for-homeschoolers.htm. I'd be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thank you very much!
