For the Week of February 13th

Chess Club

Both Tuesday's and Thursday's Clubs meet this week.

Lexia at Home

Prairieview School has five site licenses for a computer program called Lexia. It helps students learn phonics rules, sight words, multisyllabic words, suffixes and prefixes. Students may use this program after school hours at home on their home computers. If you have a student that would benefit from this program please contact me and I will get the information to you so that you are able to download it onto your home computer. At the beginning of the program the student takes a test to determine at which level he/she will begin. The program doesn't tell you that it is giving you a test, so encourage your student to work carefully at the beginning to begin at the most appropriate level. The upper level teaches Greek and Latin roots and many suffixes and prefixes - word analysis that is helpful to most any student.
