I’ve gotten such great feedback on the online homework assignments that the kids have had over the past few weeks!  They allow the kids to receive immediate feedback – something that doesn’t happen until the next day (or later) when worksheets are assigned.  The kids are enjoying the fun games, and tonight’s is my personal favorite!

Rags to Riches is a game that is based on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”  This version, which focuses on making inferences, gives the kids several situations and asks them to choose the correct inference.  They have three hints (think: lifelines) that they can use during the game, and the goal is to reach $1,000,000!  Kids should get as high of a score as they can and should come to school with their best score written in their planners.
