Remember to update your Adobe Flash Player (I uncheck the free MacAfee scan option) I also recommend you update your Java as some of these sites may use that as well. Turn speakers on for all the audio activities.
I will continue to add new activities as I come upon them. Special thanks to Mrs. Cassidy, a grade 1 teacher in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, for sharing many of these wonderful links with us!
Please let me know if any of these links is not working – Thanks!

This is great! Although I’m on the wall on this one. We’re teaching our kids to rely too much on the computer and making them forget basic things like writing. My 5-year old niece hates writing. She prefers to use a mouse and dabble with the computer. That’s progress, sort of…
Thanks for the comment Bob.
I guess, like everything else in life, it’s about finding the right balance. Writing in my kindergarten has become a highly productive, successful, and generally fun activity. The children bring extra books home to work on and pull out their folders of work in their spare time. You might be interested in the following posts about writing as we do it.
