| Google Images |
Google image searches provide your child interesting information that can enhance their building, drawing, and artwork. When your child is interested in a topic, help him/her research some Google images to learn more about the topic. |
http://google.com |
| Kids Click |
This is a child-friendly search engine. Results are supported by college students in library science at Kent State University. You can use this website to safely research topics that interest your child without inappropriate content. |

| How Stuff Works |
This website has interesting (and sometimes random) facts about things. Some of the categories include: adventure, animals, and science. (Caution: It looks like some of the banner ads at the bottom can be unpredictable--and not always kid appropriate.) |

|
| Kids.gov |
Lots of neat stuff like: the art of the stamp, national portrait gallery, careers, and history |

| National Geographic |
This website has interesting videos about wildlife. I would highly recommend previewing some of the videos (because animals can do unpredictable things that you may not want your kids to see). |

|
| NASA |
This is a Nasa website geared for student learning. Great videos and material. You could find very specific resources for students here to supplement learning in class.

This is a great, kid-friendly site to practice alphabet awareness and reading. Our students LOVE it.

| PBS Kids Games |
This is an educational online game site, including games like The Great Shapes Race and Migration Adventure. Games seem to be entertainment related with use of academic concepts. |
