Websites for Kids

Good morning! Can you believe this gorgeous weather? It's supposed to be 70's all week and that sounds like perfect fall weather to me! I love taking time, walking through my neighborhood and enjoying what's around me. We all know though fall weather can bring some rain showers too! I found this list of 10 free learning websites for kid (on Pinterest, of course!) and thought I'd share it with you when you're stuck inside on a crummy day. They are interactive and interesting for kids of all ages. Enjoy!

Help with Multiplication

Happy Monday morning! I was thinking this weekend of ways to make students' lives easier. I know what you're thinking- don't they already have it made? With fantastic parents and teachers like us, who can argue! Well, I was thinking of ways to make their educational lives easier. I came across this technique to teach kids how to successfully multiply more than 1 digit and I thought I would pass it along. Kids love writing in different colors (those multicolor pens are a hit!) so this might encourage them when solving math problems (I'd use color pencils to start off). Here's the link if you'd like to check it out:
