http://snowflakes.barkleyus.com/index.htmlThis is a great site where you can practice your math facts.
This is a fantastic site that provides engaging practice in reading, math, science, social studies, and the arts. The activities range in difficulty levels from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade and are based on educational standards.
I found this great reading resource from Houghton Mifflin, the publishers of our reading series. The site is divided into
different sections based on the themes in our reading book. Each theme has fun activities and skills to practice, as well as links to other sites that are related to our story.
