    As a teacher I like the fact that they have a "standards search". I like the counting games for my Y5's.

    I like their counting, shapes and colors sections for my Y5's They also have Biology4kids, Chem4kids, Cosmos4kids, Geography4kids, and Physics4kids, which are all great, but too difficult for my little ones.

    Easy Jigsaw Puzzles. Students drag and drop the pieces of numbers, shapes and cute characters. A great independent website for young students to help with computer skills, hand-eye coordination and the report card standard of putting a simple puzzle together.

    This site has somethings that others don't like "Fun Facts", suggestions of "Good Reads", "Animal Facts" with nice pictures, and "Toy Reviews" It's a safe site for kids, but a nice reference for teachers too.

    Billy Bear 4 Kids
    This site has a little bit of everything from games and storybooks to an "animal scoop." Something different that I haven't found anywhere else is a step-by step learn to draw activity that I think is just wonderful for a little one's fine motor skills as well as a great self-esteem builder. I often hear: "I can't draw!"

    Very Good math site. It took me awhile to figure out how to navigate and understand how to use the site, but it's a nice place for students to practice a variety of math standards from K-8th grade.
