Review #1: [|Preschool Lessons] This website is what I use often for my preschool lessons depending on the weekly theme. It has ideas for all areas including art, games, science, literacy, songs, encyclopedia, coloring pages, and more. It also has ideas for bulletin board themes, wpecific leesons plans, and are listed alphabetically by theme for easy look up.

Review #2: [|PBS Kids] PBS kids is very interactive for coloring, games, videos and music that are all educational and involve characters that kids can relate to because they see them on TV!

Review #3: [|Gayle's Preschool Rainbow] Preschool, daycare, pre-k and kindergarten activities with developmentally appropriate lesson plans, themes and curriculum resources for teachers. My co-workers like this website for activity ideas for early childhood development.

Review #4: [|Education 4Kids Inc.] This website has good drill games that are math and money related, time math, social studies, language arts, and science. Membership is free.

Review #5: [|Read, Write, Think] "Providing educators and students access to the highest quality practices and resources in reading and language arts instruction" is of special interest to me because it is my content area. The sections included are lessons, standards, web resources and student materials and all are related to literacy.

Review #6: [|Teachers.net] This website is a very active site for teachers to blog on chat boards, there are also teacher job postings, chatboards, teacher mailings, live teachers chats, lesson plans, and more.

Review #7: [|Discovery Education] A great educational site sponsored by the discovery channel for streamline videos of anything and everything that may be covered in the classroom. Virtual labs, interactives, audio clips and lessons for the technology savvy teacher!

Review #8: [|Enchanted Learning] Printouts, info sheets with vocab and glossaries on anything from whales and science to music and birds, writing ABCs, etc. This site has an enormous amount of tangible information for teachers planning lessons for any age group.

Review #9: [|Teaching Books] This website has links to bring authors into the classroom, can also get handouts and view trainings through these authors.

Review #10: [|Speakaboos] This website is more for students as an interactive media using classic children's literature like fairy tales, nursery rhymes, fables, etc. to listen, record and play. Also can be used by teachers and parents to play games with kids bringing literature to the digital world!
