Accommodations and Hotels

This website has many different tabs to look at but I noticed this little vocab on Accommodations and Hotels.  I thought it might be appropriate as our French teacher was in the library talking to the grade 8 students about The French Trip.  Frederic has a nice set of common words that you might use on a trip as a vocab list.  To see the site click here.

From the Teachers Pay Teachers website.  James has a bunch of free sample task cards for you to download on topics such as: matter, ionic bonding, periodic table, atomic structure, covalent  bonding and much more.  The free digital download is in the top right corner.  You have to register but it is free.  Also the full set of cards is available for purchase.  To see the website click here.
