Educational Pages That Make Our Lives Easier

Since I have decided to join in the blogging community, I thought it's time I started posting anything I find interesting and you might want to have a look at. Let the posting begin!

Easy Notecards is a place where students and teachers can create, study, print and share their own cards.

snapps4kids is an excellent site, aiming to introduce us to ways of using the iPad, iPod, iPhone and other Android devices with children who have special needs.

This Year's Halloween

Another Halloween period went by this year and I tried my best to familiarise my students with the traditions around it. Students wore their masks, sang the trick-or-treat song, watched some clips on youtube and of course coloured their halloween pictures listening to creepy sounds!

 This year's Jack-o-lantern! Oh, well, he's missing a tooth, but that's ok!

 Jack lit up

 Next, getting ready for Thanksgiving (maybe?) and Christmas! Woohoo!
