This website has something helpful for every age group. It is great for teachers as well as for parents. It is fun for the kids because it is full of fun ways to help and practice math like brain teasers and puzzles. It is colorful and interesting. I am looking forward to showing this one to my boys.

This is another website that is not as jazzy as the last. As a mom I really like the printable worksheets. I create math test for my boys before a test and then we go over the areas that are a problem. It is hard for me to do this sometimes. Now I have a website that I can go to and print out problems instead of making them up ( a real time saver). I wish that my children's teachers would send home these helpful links. I am sure they have a ton of them. This sight covers everything my kids have done. I love the telling time sheets. They are a pain to recreate, especially neatly.

This is a perfect site for my clan. It is phonics for pre-k-2nd grade. I may just give my kids each an hour to explore this site. They will learn and think they are playing.

The name speaks for itself. This is a fun website for everything from recipes to magic trick and jokes. It is fun and can be used as an incentive for good behavior.

My kids love create stories with photos. We have not done this via the computer. I am looking forward to showing this site to them. They can have a ton of fun with this site. I would think that teachers can use this site to also reinforce material from lessons taught in the class. Great way to mix technology. art and academics,
Hey Rosanna, I have actually used some of these sites with some of my students. I taught Math last year at the adult night school and my students really love this site(coolmath4kids). I actually have many of them still tell me that they utilize it.
ReplyDeleteflickr.com is awesome, I used this to show my CCD students my pictures from my trip to Italy some years ago. I also found some amazing pics of The Vatican and St. Petersburg. All in all I love these amazing & insightful links. Thanks!
Good choices Rosanna! I haven't used Rick's Math but since you said it has printable worksheets I'm going to see if there's anything there that could keep my lunch duty kids busy on rainy days. I'm ALWAYS searching for printables for that.
ReplyDeleteRosanna,
ReplyDeleteI loved the http://www.flickr.com...My friend uses this website for their family holiday cards every year. I might start doing the same...
