Armadillos - Wow! There are 73 articles on armadillos. Each article shows the reading difficulty and if there is a picture or not. There were 6 newspaper artricles 40 magazines, 18 references, and 6 pictures. Some of the pictures weren't armadillos. They were other nocturnal animals. There was a word find for night creatures that would be fun for my students to do.
Mexico is my country. We celebrate Cinco de Mayo in our classroom so I am always looking for more age appropriate information on Mexico. It also had 3 different reading levels. I clicked easy and got a really neat graphic organizer for Country Facts. It had a wonderful map that was easy to read and had a lot of great information. I really loved the fun facts!
Maps of the World is an excellent resource for maps. There were several very good maps. I liked the outline map of the United States. We do a postcard activity where we collect postcards from around the United States. I think this would work great to have the children color in the states we've received cards from and put in the name of the states.
I was excited to find the Dictionary/Thesaurus. My chldren try to find synonyms for words and the Thesaurus will be super for that!
