Thing 7a: Experiencing RSS

Searching for blog sites to add to my reader, I found this great site for second graders.  Its an ongoing list of websites that are age-appropriate, interactive, and engaging.  There is a wide range of subject areas and the games are easily followed and quick.  Most have different levels, which I like because students can learn to self-assess.  If they find something that’s too easy, they can move up a level, or if its too hard and didn’t receive a good score, they can try again.  This is so great for me and I can’t wait to share it with my colleagues.  This is the kind of thing that I have a hard time finding the time to research, but this blog has already done the work for second grade curriculum.
