World of Animals and Games & Activities

I spent some time looking at the World of Animals.  I like the way the pictures make it easy for the children to locate their animals.  The table makes it easy to see the info immediately.  The video was short but had enough information for my first graders.  I like the sites listed for the children to visit.  I love the activities Think It!  Be it!  Make It!  Teach It!  It has loads of ideas that are quick and easy to use.  I can see how it will benefit me when I am planning my lessons.

I played some of the games on the Games and Activities site.  I have been trying to find sites on the internet where the children can practice their math facts.  The Color by Number and Robot Math were fun and engaging.  I think my children will enjoy practicing their skills with these games.  I also liked the Dream math game.  It is more challenging and will make the children do a higher level of thinking.  This will be a site we will visit often.
