Daily Almanac

Streamed on the Web
This is the first series that we are making available entirely via webstreaming! There is a 5-minute episode for each day of the week filled with fun facts and information about what happened on that day in history, health tips, a vocabulary word of the day, and more. It's a great way to jump-start the school day! The episodes can be accessed from a monthly calendar. The videos are password protected and you will need RealPlayer to view them. The NHPTV Knowledge Network notified schools last year and gave them their user name and password for their SAU. If you have forgotten your user name and password or if you never got it, send an email to Susan Adams with your SAU number. Homeschooler and private schools can also contact us for a user name and password. >> Daily Almanac Calendar
