Week 3: Learning Library Express
I like the new format. Just don't use the back button, it kicks you out of the program and you have to log back in again.
For the 4th grader that needs help with reading comprehension: I would send him to the LLE:School Center:Elementary School:English Language Arts Skills Improvement. From there he could work on the modules for Informational Reading Practice, Literature Reading Practice, or he could go to the Tutorials and do the Middle School Reading tutorial to boost his skills.
In the Career Center, she would go to Job Search and Workplace Skills: Build your Workplace Skills to brush up on her reading and writing skills for business.
Also in the Career Center, she could go to: Succeed in the Workplace under Guidance for more ways to brush up on workplace skills.
Information on a Nursing Career can be found under Guidance:Explore Careers: Nurse or under:Learn More about a Career:Nursing.
I did not find information on being a Pharmacist but I did find references for a pharmacy technician.

Advanced Challenge Week 2
Chilton's online manual has videos, still pictures and written instructions on how to change out a steering wheel. Seems to be very thorough, I would not have thought about detaching the airbag before changing out the steering wheel. It's nice that you can print out the instructions too.
The Part number for a 1989 Geo Prizm 3 speed automatic transmission transaxle is A131L.
The languages of the Bible are Hebrew (Old testament) and Greek (New Testament). I did the first lesson in Hebrew and found that the Hebrew word for night is pronounced the same as my first name, that was cool.
Using TumbleBookLibrary to look for mystery books for third graders, I simply typed "mystery" in the search box and it brought up several books suitable for a third grade student. I choose 'Ace Lacewing, Bug Detective". You have options of reading the book and turning the pages yourself or you can have everything automated and sit back and listen to the story as you follow along in the book. A/R information, Lexile and grade levels are all included in the information. This is a fun way to get students interested in reading more.
I had a little trouble finding a fiction book supporting STEM at first. I tried searching 'math' & 'technology' and found nothing. It was only when I searched 'science' that I found several fiction books dealing with science. I enjoyed 'Gotcha' about magnets and 'Clever Trevor' on levers. My favorite was 'A Moldy Mystery' on growing molds. Kids would find these books enjoyable and fun to try.

Advanced Challenge Week 1
Checked out the games in the World Book Kids and with my special interest in math, I found myself getting lost in trying out the various math games. Suddenly, I realized that I had just spent an hour playing with many of the games in several categories. I would hope that after this was introduced to the students, they would find themselves learning and losing track of time too.
In World Book Student, I explored the Biography section. I found out some interesting facts about some of my favorite authors from when I was a child. I also read about some actors and actresses from some of my favorite classic movies. I think my students would enjoy learning some personal facts about the authors of the books they are reading. I also liked the fact that the biographies included the proper formatting for citations.
We are in full swing with our Accelerated Reading program. Students are always looking for more books. I enjoyed reading the Emperor's New Clothes and even had some of it read to me. I also had it translated to Spanish so see how much I could remember from High School. Another option for students to find books they might not have thought to read.
The Reference section of the World Book Discover had some great information on How to do Research. With students taking on Senior Projects, this is a great place for them to find ideas on how to start. Also found the Citation Builder helpful.
