Exciting Open Class!
Oct 8th
So, I had planned to make another post
today
about how to add a button to your blog
for other people to grab.
But,
I just came across something
so exciting
that it is worth interrupting my other plans.
I believe that
so much research is out there
but it is not reaching
the general population.
I want to change that.
So, when I learned that
Yale
is offering
OPEN classes
I could not keep it to myself!
How exciting!?
Just pick your class and learn!
Find them here!
Now,
to find the time to take some classes!
Enjoy!

Free Online Resources
Oct 2nd
After commenting on another blog I follow, I realized I should probably make you aware of some of the great FREE resources available to help the preschool – 2nd grade child explore and learn.
One of our favorites is Starfall.
There are some great online games and my kids cannot get enough of them! It is designed for the preschool child, but they have added some Kindergarten resources.
National Geographic Kids is another great one.
Some of the stuff here is more educational than others, but there are some really great learning resources here!
PBS Kids has some great stuff, and there are some of my favorite shows on PBS! Sid the Science Kid does a great job of teaching some great science topics. Dinosaur Train has taught us a lot about dinosaurs. (I even use the show to learn more.) I credit Word World for teaching some great phonics to my daughter. (The Word World website even has some eBooks.) I could go on and on about how great PBS is…
Progressive Phonics has some GREAT books that I love!
We have printed a few and I have been impressed with the books!
Hunkin’s Experiments has some great science experiment ideas.
Although, many of them tend to be a little too advanced. There are some interesting ideas in there, though.
