ERCLC on YouTube

We now have a YouTube "channel." It started out as a place to put things for the Math Explorations class, but it will end up being a little broader than that. Check it out here.

Here is the latest addition, a little tutorial on multiplying positive and negative numbers using our new number line (painted on the sidewalk behind the old schoolhouse). If you subscribe to the channel on YouTube you will get notifications any time we add new videos.

"Students and Families" Page

Some of our students and families have their own web sites and/or blogs (the numbers have dwindled recently). Blogs are a form of publication. Your children can learn to write for an actual audience by creating a blog (see Blogspot.com or other free blog hosts). There is a page of links to these called "Students and Families". If you have a web site you would like linked from the school's web site, please contact me at david at erclc.org.
