Wonderful Websites to Explore

I am so excited for this week...

This week, I'm taking Responsive Classroom II! Responsive Classroom is an approach to teaching that encourages joy and community building for increased growth and learning. Last summer, I took RC I, so now I'm diving in deeper to the practices in RC II. I'm so excited to learn new ideas and use them to fill this year with even more learning and fun.

Speaking of learning...here are some great new educationally fun websites I've stumbled across recently. There's a range of themed sites below: science, social studies, reading, math, and writing! Feel free to visit them on those rainy summer days...

         CoolMath4Kids: take a trip through an amusement park of math and more at this extremely interactive math website
         Smithsonian Kids Collecting: how to start your own collection and see what other kids collect
         Explore Dinosaurs: FAQs and top 10 myths about dinosaurs, a virtual dig, behind the scenes tours, and more from the National Museum of Natural History
         NASA Quest: interactive explorations that engage students in real science and engineering. Topics include robots, helicopters, lunar exploration, and designing your own human-friendly planet
         My Wonderful World: a multimedia tour of our seven continents
         Time for Kids: fun games (The Great State Race), an online weekly magazine 
         written for kids, and news from around the world
         Storyline Online: a program of the Screen Actors Guild Foundations. Choose
         from different story favorites and enjoy as they are read to you. You can
         even try some of their activities that go with the stories!


                                                     Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
