SuperKids Vocabulary Builders

SuperKids Vocabulary Builders

Super kids educational tools is designed to make lerning easy and fun for both the home and school. It varies from maths work sheets, telling time work sheets, games of logic reasoning, vocabulary builders, hangman, famous quote of the day and super kids brain food.
These develop your vocabulary, creative thinking and every day need to know information.I choose vocabulary builder to discuss because i think that increasing your knowledge is very important not only in that aspect but you will also have an idea about places, people and things. You will also be able to interpret the meaning of one word i different contexts.
This software has many different activities for you to try. I love the fact that they were soo creative on the site. When i saw that they had hangman immeadiately i was intrigued to find out what it was all about. This is an excellent laerning strategy to get the child to become interested in reading, spelling or vocabulary.
Take the time now and choose a topic of your choice and start learning its fun and very easy.

ENJOY!!

Online Demonstration | Rosetta Stone

Online Demonstration Rosetta Stone

The Rosetta Stone is classed as the world's #1 language learning software. It is an extensive foreign language learning program that gives anyone or organisations an opportunity to learn a new language. With a choice of more than 30 new languages , the term "rosetta stone" comes from an ancient Egyptian artifact which is housed in a British museum, it is black possibly basalt slab with three languages on it (Greek, demotic and hieroglyphs) and i found this to be very interesting that the designer's of the Rosetta Stone choose the most appropriate name for this soft ware. Just one problem i found that it was a little too costly, but maybe it could be that it is in such high demand.
Presently I'm using this programme to learn spanish i have now started it and one of the things i like about it is that its soo simple to understand it makes me feel as if I'm back in primary school reading one of my text books. Before the rosetta stone i had bought another spanish CD along with the booklet and i had problems understanding but i like how i look at the pictures that relate to the phrases.
Anyone can learn from the rosetta stone, i thought that i would never get to understand the spanish language and be able to converse with my spanish speaking friends but now i believe that i can speak fluent spanish with dedication and help from this fascinating program. So give it a try, i have posted a demo and maybe you may finally get the opportunity to learn that second language you always wanted to. BUENA SUERTE

Ministry tackling school violence | The Trinidad Guardian

Ministry tackling school violence The Trinidad Guardian: "Blame the Teachers.
My wife is a teacher. She has a student that comes to school 2 day a week.
When he is there he has no books and he is disruptive to the class.
His step father beats him, his mother neglects him.
He curses the other students.
He steals.
The police wont do anything.
She tries her hardest to get him to be there 5 days a week, and to learn, but he refuses.
She has no support from his parents, the school sysyem, the police or the govt.
One student makes it hard for twenty others to learn.
What can she do?
She is stressed when she comes home.
Now the government is telling her she is a bad teacher.
Give her the resources to make her a better teacher.
She has yet to see a social worker or an officer at her primary school.
Let the primary school teachers know where they can go to get psychologicaland other help for these children.
I hear about incest, child abuse, parents incouraging there children to steal because the police wont arrest them.
The principal knows, yet nothing is done.
Give her the resources and these thing wont happen.
But the government wont.
The easiest way is to blame her and say it's her fault for being a bad teacher."
