Some awesome sites
I have to add these to my blog roll. Actually, I have to organize the mess that is my blogroll. Anyway, a few cool sites I found around the web:
World Book Encyclopedia - wow. An interactive atlas, encyclopedia, and dictionary aimed at elementary and middle school kids. Who needs the Encyclopedia Britannica?
I really love their suggested course of study and curriculum standards lists for each grade, from pre-K through senior year of high school. It's not the be-all end-all of curriculum courses of study, but it's a very comprehensive template and could be very useful for homeschoolers.
My Wonderful World - an interactive kid's site for elementary and middle school students designed by The National Geographic to bolster geographical literature. My kid LOVES geography, so I can see him getting addicted to this site very easily.
The Great Space Chase - a Magic Schoolhouse tie-in game where the children look for Ms. Frizzle in the solar system by answering clues about the planets. Fun! Alas, not Firefox friendly.
Google for Educators - tools, sites, gadgets and a personalized home page for educators. Some of it is definitely geared toward a traditional classroom, but I've now set my home page to have a word of the day, bible verse of the day, the weather, a NASA photograph, a calendar, and a whole mess of other things.
