One of my FAVORITE teacher websites!!

What do you do when your lesson goes MUCH quicker than you planned? I know we all have some back-up ideas, and sometimes just having the kiddos read or catch up on late work is ideal. But - if you're looking for something different that nearly any age will like - then check out this site! http://storylineonline.net/ There are about 24 stories on there now, but they seem to add to them regularly! (I recommend checking it out at school first to see what your speed is like. I've worked in districts where this website doesn't work too well...)




**The Polar Express is one of the stories they feature! Maybe that can help you out when planning for Christmas?!

Can you see yourself using this website? Had you heard of it before? What else do you do when you finish a lesson earlier than you had planned?

Happy Tuesday!

HERE YOU WILL FIND MORE THAN SIXTY INTERACTIVE GAMES, ABSOLUTELY FREE, PLUS EIGHT ILLUSTRATED CHILDREN'S STORIES.

This website wants to be a fun site where preschoolers can make their first contact with the computer world, and for that reason, the contents are educational, based on the saying: "Learn as you play!"

These games were designed with the idea of giving children the opportunity to face simple problems with ingenuity, and to arouse their curiosity.

We include children's stories on this site for games (where it is understood to be pure entertainment) because we hope to help the players realize that reading is also fun, and so nurture a like for reading. www.cincopatas.us
