Resources

Here is a quick look at some useful resources I may have mentioned to one or another in EIT:

Download to individual computers:
TuxMath--" lets kids hone their arithmetic skills while they defend penguins from incoming comets, or offers them a chance to explore the asteroid belt with only their factoring abilities to bring them through safely!" Addition, subtraction, multiplicationm, division.
TuxPaint--"a free, award-winning drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 (for example, preschool and K-6). It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program." Like KidPix, but better.
TuxTyping--"an educational typing tutor for kids starring Tux, the Linux penguin. This educational game comes with two different games for practicing your typing, and having a great time doing it."

Sites:
Professor Garfield's Knowledge Box--choose math, language arts, science, and social studies activities by grade level, K-6.

Sources to help children figure out who they are. Then, they can make stronger connections with others:
100 Questions to Ask Children About Themselves --article
Getting to Know You--"Help children celebrate their identity and get to know each other with directions and templates for four fun projects. If you've never bought an e-book before, this is a perfect introduction. The 24 pages are packed with information and patterns but the small file size makes it easy and quick to download."
