Special Butterfly Born

Only 0.01 per cent of hatching butterflies are born as gynandromorphs, which is the scientific term for these half and half butterflies.

To read the short paragraph about this half male and half female butterfly click on the picture.  It also says that there are some other animals that can be born as gynandromorphs.

I found this at GoGo Planet News.  Big News for Little People in their articles for today.  They have all kind of articles on a lot of different things. 

I am hoping to use some of their articles this year since we don't have funds to order the subscription weekly reader type magazines.  I also thought they could be used for short summaries, important details, main idea, etc.  Plus, it is a way to help my students learn about the things in the world and current events without any cost.

NEW ITEM - Cheering for Study Skills Game 2 ( A Tic-Tac-Learn Game)

Cheering For Study Skills Game 2 requires players to determine the type of information found in different reference books, such as an almanac, a thesaurus, an atlas, and an appendix.  There are also questions that deal with guide words in a dictionary.  (This game has different questions than Cheering For Study Skills Game 1.)

Knowing where to locate information is a life skill that all students need to know. 

To add a sense of fun and logic to this game, a tic-tac-learn game board is used.

This game is a fun way to have a quick review for a group with a SmartBoard or used on an individual computer it allows players to compete while reviewing what they know about study skills.

This is a read-only PowerPoint game file.

Thanks for looking.

This game is a quick and fun way to review with a group using a SmartBoard or to put on an individual computer for two students to play.

This is a read-only game.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Study Skills Game Posted at Teachers Pay Teachers

I have posted a new game to review study skills.  Dictionary skills such as alphabetical order, using guide words, etc. are just a few of the skills being reviewed while playing this game.  Put some fun into reviewing for mandated testing.

Watch out for versions with more questions, different topics, etc.   

You can see the directions and find out more details if you click on the link on this page to the Vintage Teacher Store at Teachers Pay Teachers.

Thanks and have a great day!
