Play Ball!
With a swing of the bat, baseball season has officially begun. When baseball fever strikes, you can bring the game into the classroom -- and score a home run -- with this week's Education World lessons and activities. Included: A stadium full of activities and links to team sites, baseball math sites, cross-curricular projects -- plus the famous Casey at the Bat poem and Abbott and Costellos "Who's On First?" script.
Spelling
Once each year, students compete in the National Spelling Bee. But, in most classrooms, spelling is a daily activity -- and Education World has all the resources you will need to spark student excitement about spelling. You will find spelling games and activities that will help students spell up a s-t-o-r-m.
