Reading - Houghton Mifflin


I noticed on Kevin Mathiesen's webpage a link to Kid's Place Houghton Mifflin Reading.

You click on the grade level button for 1st to 6th grade, and enter tutorials for reading lessons. There is a word game for each lesson, vocabulary, and author information. These activities are, of course, keyed to chapters in the Houghton Mifflin reading textbooks used at our schools.

The graphics display of the games is simple, small, and left justified. They should work on anyone's screen - even for those on dial up connections with small screens.

Library Resources


Elementary School teachers and librarians might enjoy Library Games.
Kathleen Fox has created a website for monthly ideas and activities, free printable materials and interviews with talented Media Specialists creating amazing programs at their schools.

Each of our five Corning Union Elementary School District School Libraries have their own website.

Here is a photo of our 2010-2011 school library staff. We are all part-time employees. From left to right: Mrs. Morales, Ms. Pritchett, Mrs. Gill, Mrs. Anderson, and Mr. Garofalo.

Woodson Elementary School Drupal Website Online

We are gradually moving each of our school websites into the Drupal Content Management System website software.

The older, simple and functional Woodson website was moved to a new webserver in September, 2010. We also moved from the old domain name (www.cuesd.tehama.k12.ca.us) to our new domain name (www.cuesdwoodosn.org). The District website also moved from the old domain name (www.cuesd.tehama.k12.ca.us) to our new district level domain name (www.corningelementary.org).

Our new Woodson Elementary School website is now at: http://woodsoncuesd.org/

Woodson teachers and staff will be trained in using Drupal in April, 2011.
