THIS MIGHT BE your one-stop spot for kid-friendly sites.
Written by an elementary school teacher from Florida, and aimed at kids in grades K-6, this site contains tons of links to sites under the headings of Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, Reference, Math, Activities, Sites for Teachers, and Clip-Art.
All sites are checked for appropriate content, and an eye was also kept out for their educationality (it’s a Bush word), lack of excessive advertising, and for services that are free.
Instead of text links, sites are linked to with colorful banners. Even the names of these sites sound like fun!
