Hello,

As for science section I'd like to add this website:

http://www.physics-chemistry-class.com

It contains chemistry and physics resources for pupils from elementary school to high school.

As a matter of fact it is my site ( I'm a science teacher in France ). It is translation and an adaptation from my french site.

I hope it will be useful and I'll listen with interest your critics about it if you have !

I have been looking all over for computer science material for primary aged kids, and I finally found this 111 page book full of activities.  Its divided into three sections with lots of activities.   The sections are Data: the raw material—Representing information, Putting Computers to Work—Algorithms and Telling Computers What To Do—Representing Procedures.

Aha!
Cokers4life, sending huge virtual hugs your direction!!!
I have spent quite a bit of time looking for something decent, this looks fantastic...I emailed it to brother, a programmer, to get his opinion, but he did glance through quickly and gave a thumbs up:)
Karma AND hugs

You are welcome and thanks for letting me know he gave it a thumbs up because I wasn't sure myself.

Looking to print large maps to color in and put on your wall?  I know I was.  Here is a site I finally found that you can make as large as you like from your own printer!  All for free.  You can customize the size to your liking up to 66 x 86 in.  I thought it was pretty neat.

We all know that after we've taught all the basic boring shapes we usually just drop the whole shape topic, but here is a great sight that shows you how to make some awesome 3D shapes out of paper, glue and a razor.  Obviously you would put these together and then present them to the little ones as they are very detail oriented. For all other kids, it would be a nice geometry project.  As always its free.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the last link. 

Came across this 30 day trial to Greg Tang's Kakooma.  Looks like a very interesting way to reinforce math facts.  It might be worth checking out.  No credit card information required.

I found this great site with philosophical discussion guides using young children's books as the center of discussion.  Its really delightful and easy to use.  http://www.teachingchildrenphilosophy.org/wiki/Main_Page

I have Greg Tang's Math for All Season and the Grapes of Math. Both are excellent supplements. You don't need them,but they are fun and NOT dry.

Hi all,

I would like to share this fantastic site with tales in spanish with all of you. The best of all is that children can see the words appearing at the same time the storyteller speaks. Great to learn to read in spanish!

I hope you enjoy it.

"Another thing you can do [........] is to play audio stories. Learn Out Loud has a lot you can download - some are free. http://kids.learnoutloud.com/ "

A friend sent me this link.  I haven't checked out the game as its only out for MAC right now, but I thought it was still worth putting in our library of links.  MAC users let me know if its good.
