  1. Kali, I liked the resources you added to the list. I never saw the scholastic.com site and found myself getting lost in it. There was a section on pre-schoolers and technology. It is amazing what little ones are able to do. This summer I worked with 3-5 year olds and we did used a drawing program on the computer with them. Although they weren't independent doing it, they loved it.

  4. Thanks Kathy!

    I am really getting the hang of using the blog (or at least I think I am). It's nice to see all of yours and our other colleagues blogs too!

  5. I had not even considered the scholastic site. I am a regular user of that site for ideas for lessons. They are a wonderful resource for educators and families. Also, family circle is another wonderful resource to have on your list whether you are an educator or a parent. Thank you for sharing, great additions.

  6. The Unicef Fact Sheet was very informative. I never thought about having to define children's rigts. It gave me a new perspective on what rights children have.

    My mom and I were discussing UNICEF as well. It is so important to be connected with the way the world views children's well being. My mom said that it is a shame that there are organizations dedicated to children's right worldwide, yet there are still children being sold into slavery and exploited.
