It's a New Week..

and school starts again. I wanted to remind you of some of my favorite "learning" websites that my kids enjoy. And that's what it's all about right? That they enjoy them.

www.spellingcity.com

Here you can enter your child's spelling words from school and run through games with them. How awesome is that?

www.handipoints.com

This helps you create online charts that can be used for chores or homework. Your child earns points when he/she completes the tasks that you set up for them. I.E. do homework without complaint!!! That was my big one. Then they get to create their cat and enter a virtual cat world.

www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing

This is the best "FREE" typing site. All three of my kids use it, even though my oldest breezes through. It helps him keep up with his skill. Very good site.

www.starfall.com

This is a learning to read site that my 4 year old loves. (And is just starting to read) It's great!!!! Jenny, I've been meaning to email you this one for Ethan.

www.time4learing.com

This one isn't free like the above sites but well worth the $19 per month. It can even be used as a complete home school program. I just use it as refresher courses when my little one needs more help. I've used it for my three oldest. It's pretty funny too.

O.K. that's it for school stuff. I am happy to report that my guys are getting school work done in about 3 hours now. So much better than the first half of last week at a 8 hour school day. I pleaded with them, then screamed, then begged. "pleeeeasssse doooo youuurrrr wooooorrrkkk! Pleeeassse!" Waaaa, waaaa waaa!"

Yeah that's how the first half of last week went. Let's hope it's not a pattern. First half "heck" second half awesome!

Do you have any sites that you love???? Please share.
