Links for Grade 1 studies

A few games/interactive quizzes to review consonant blends:

• Sadlier Oxford Consonant Blends
• Gamequarium links to phonics blends
• Interactive Workshets
• Some more interactive worksheets
• Cluster Buster (arcade-type -- fast pace and it's hard to figure out some of the pictures -- I had to help Paddy -- also there's a run-on sentence at the end of the game -- don't you love educational games with grammar mistakes?)

Paddy was supposed to make a graph today so we found this Create a Graph site that was actually pretty neat. He had fun playing with the values.

We found a few weather quizzes and the like yesterday, too, for our weather review:

• Atmospheric Cycles (link to resources for different age levels)
• Weather Maker -- you can set the conditions to make different kinds of weather events.
• Quia -- weather measurements and types of clouds.
• Quia -- cloud vocabulary matching game.

This interactive map of Europe is useful when we're learning about different artists or authors or the like.
