Favorite Links:


On the list below, you will find links for kids, parents, and teachers.  Some of the sites provide practice on the skills that we are working on in class.  Some of them provide helpful information for parents and others provide useful material for teachers.  Some of the sites are just for fun!  I will add new sites as I find them and as we cover new skills in class, so check back often.  Have fun exploring! Just click on the underlined words to go to a site.

Please send me an email to let me know if any of the links are no longer working.  Thanks!  Click here to see another page of great links!
