Scholastic is here to support us once again.  Follow the link to go to the School Continuation Plan.  Here's what they say...If your students miss school this fall due to an illness, H1N1 (swine flu) or other extended absence, Scholastic created a School Continuation Plan to keep them on track. Stay Smart! provides 20 days of reading, writing, and math instruction for students in Grades K-8.  Just click on Reading, Writing, Math to find 20 days of assignments for all grade levels.  If you check out the sidebar, you'll find BookFlix and Expert Science.  You'll also see links here to learn more about Flu Prevention near the bottom.

TAEP PortaPortal

You can find some links here for your children. You will find some repeats from this site but make sure you look it over carefully.  The kids love the Keyboard Climber and the Talking Pet sites.   This portaportal is always a work in progress and as new sites are found, they are added. 

Thinkfinity

Thinkfinity is an impressive site with lots of teacher resources.  One section is dedicated to parents.  You'll find a link on the side for parent training.  Although the site is easy to navigate, I would suggest you review it to make sure you take full advantage of the resources.

I Spy Art Game

This is a fun way to learn more about famous pieces of art.  It takes a bit of clicking around to figure it out but it really is quite simple once you get the hang of it. 

Cool Food Planet

This is definitely a kid friendly site helping our children to learn about healthy lifestyles.  They will find tips on staying healthy and fit.  There is a great section on dental health,  When they are all finished with each of the sections, they may take the nutrition quiz to see what they learned on this site!
