I had no idea!

These are a few things I learned in the last several days.  If you think I am completely unobservant and should have known about these for ages, you are not alone.  I agree.

BBC Dance Mat Typing  This is supposed to be for the kids, but I can’t get enough of it and it’s just as well, ‘cuz my typing stinks!  needs some polishing.

Google Books - Oh my, what a resource!  You can type speller into the bar and get to a book called Wheeler’s Graded Studies in Great Authors: A Complete Speller.  There are other books, but this book is like a gold mine.  Ha, never buy a spelling book or a copywork book again.  

Google Books – I know, but look what happens when you type in Ray’s Arithmetic Second Book.  I love old books and there are a wealth of ‘em available just for the searching.  And Ray’s Arithmetic?  Heavy on the word problems.  And word problems are where it’s at, mathematically speaking.  Remember Bill Cosby?  He called word problems ‘If a man…’  because they all start out that way.  ”If a man leaves Boston at 2:30, heading south, at 35 mph…”

Thanks for the resources. I wasn’t aware of any of them!
