Welcome back students and new link for Teacher Kathy's Study Stacks

Welcome to the Fall 2016 semester! I will try to update my blog regularly this semester. I hope that students who have to miss class can look on this blog to find out what we have been doing (but that's no substitute for coming to class).

I have changed my user name on Study Stack from kakcal to teacherkathy, so I updated the Study Stack link at right (under Favorite Links) to take you to my new user name on the Study Stack website. On my Study Stack page, you can find vocabulary lists from some of our class lessons to practice.

My suggestion: Click on the Teacher Kathy's Study Stacks link from the Favorite Links list on the right of this page to go directly to the teacherkathy page on studystack.com. If you want to get there the long way, follow these instructions:

1) Type www.studystack.com (or just studystack.com) into the address bar at the top left of your computer screen (NOT the search box lower on the page) and press ENTER on your keyboard. (NOTE: The address bar is the place that shows the address of the page you are currently on. The printing in it usually begins with https://www. or http://www., or simply www.//.) For some reason, if you type the studystack.com address into the search box of your search engine instead of the address bar, you may get a list of all sorts of crazy choices, and it may not even list the correct one.

You should now be on the home page of studystack.com. If you are on studystack.com but don't see the search box, click on the green and blue "Study Stack" label in the upper left corner--it will take you to the home page if you're not already on it (if you're already on it, nothing new will happen).

2) Next, type my username in the search box in the middle of the page: teacherkathy (do not use spaces or capital letters when you type, or the search will not find my study stack page). If you don't see the search box, click on the green and blue "Study Stack" label in the upper left corner--it will take you to the home page if you're not already on it (if you're already on it, nothing will happen), and you will see the search box in the middle of the page.

Once you are on the teacherkathy page, scroll down the list of stacks and find the one you're looking for. Recently, the ABE (level 5) class has been doing readings and learning vocabulary from Unit 1 of the Reading Explorer 2 book. You can find these vocabulary words by clicking on the links titled Olive Oil and Caribbean Food. Study the words with the flashcards or study table, or try some of the games and puzzles (links are toward the bottom of the page).

Vocabulary for Scale and Distance at Teacher Kathy's Study Stack Page

I often make vocabulary flashcards to go with a lesson at the website www.studystack.com. I created a stack for today's lesson about using a map scale to calculate distance. On my page at studystack.com, you can view these vocabulary cards and play games that help you remember the meaning of words like scale, ratio, and proportion. Go to studystack.com and type kakcal in the search box, or use the link below. I have also added the link to my list of favorite links on the right-hand side of this page.
