Fun Websites

We're always looking for fun and educational (and sometimes just fun without the educational) websites for the girls to enjoy. I like to pass them along in case anyone else wants to check them out. We've found some fun ones this year for school....

www.nga.gov/kids/zone/zone.htm This is an AWESOME art website. Kids can make virtual collages, swirl art, and even add and remove elements from existing famous art. This is a really cool website. I tried it out to make sure it was okay for the girls, and I had a difficult time pulling myself away.

www.sciencekids.co.nz/ This website has some great science info. This is mostly for 2nd graders and up, but Jasmine (my kindergartner) enjoyed learning about the skeletal system of different animals. This is a great interactive science website. The only thing I don't like about it is the ads along the sides. Emily accidentally clicked on a link and was taken to a new website. This is a great website as long as you are close to help them see which links are ads and which are within the site.

http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/ We were given this link today to go along with Emily's science lesson on amphibians and reptiles. It has movie clips of animals in the zoo, as well as all kinds of photos and info on animals. Emily really enjoyed watching the animal movie clips.

http:/boowakwala.uptoten.com/kids/boowakwala-home.html This is Jasmine's latest favorite website. We were looking for a website with music for Jazzy, and this website has fun little songs that she loves to sing along with. There are also games and cartoon clips. The animals have a French and British accent, so Jasmine sings the songs with the accents, which is rather funny. She also goes around saying "La" all of the time.
