Sites to Use With Kids

The National Council for Educational Statistics provides NECS's Student Classroom with a variety of interesting opportunities for your students. This site includes an online graph-making site, a place for students to publish their own writing, math games and more.

Speaking of math, try this Count-On for the K-8 kids. In fact, click on the Games button and try it out yourself. I'm still trying to win Fliver!

Then there's Rainforest Maths (yes, maths...the UK way). Do remember that this is from the UK, so sections that involve measurement will be metric.

Carol Kress suggests Play to Learn. Her 2nd graders practice time and money skills on the site. Carol says it's pretty basic, but the kids love it!

And for the youngest of our students...or our wee ones at home, don't miss Poissonrouge. It may be too young for almost all of our youngsters, but it is so well done that it's worth a visit under any circumstances.
