More websites!
Yes, I found even more websites to keep you and your kids busy over Christmas break! PBS has created another wonderful site--this time involving nutrition. It's called Lunch Lab, and has great graphics with informative, funny "shorts," recipes, games, food facts, and safety tips for cooking. Click pbskids.org/lunchlab to try it yourselves!
Another Youtube-ish site for the younger set is called, Kideos and is aimed at kids 3 and up. Click www.kideos.com to find some (safe) laughs.
Game Classroom sounds like it could be a complete bore, but it's actually a fantastic site for math and language arts reinforcement for grades K-6. It was created by educational professionals, and is able to be used with Nintendo Wii systems. This isn't your typical skill building site or dreary workbook--it's quite engaging and fun! Click www.gameclassroom.com and let your kids explore.
If your kids need help with a history project or tough assignment, this site is a gem. Created by the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, Our Story, is for grades K-12. Eras of study range from 1620-present. A handy filter narrows your search for the type of resources you need--primary, reference, worksheets, artifacts, etc. Site includes suggested field trips to enhance the area of study, books, activities, reading guides, and crafts. This one is a winner! Click americanhistory.si.edu/ourstory to finish that project or just lurk while you learn!
Thanks to School Library Journal and Common Sense Media for these sites!
Until next time....
