Educational Website for MEDT 7462

Kids Know It

One website that I think is very useful is the Kids Know It Network. The site has many interactive games, movies, and even music. It is a site that allows students to self select according to their interests or teacher assignment. Links to other sites bring students on a real journey of understanding. I have used this for building background knowledge and student research while investigating the planets, constellations, and moon phases. The kids love it and don't want to leave the computer lab.

Class Plants by Taurean

Our plants are growing. We have four different kinds. We have,Marigolds, Onions, Cabbage and Spinach. It's great that fourth graders get to eat them maybe. The funniest thing is that in the spinach bag the plant is growing in to it. Planting these plants is a good way to see bees drinking the nectar.
