A quote from the website: “My goal is
to create a resource for teachers, home schoolers and anyone
interested in quality books for children.” I just discovered this
site and I’ve already used it to find some picture books to teach
skills in the classroom. As a parent I was always looking for good
quality books for my own children and to give to other children as
gifts. If you enjoy learning about new children’s book be sure to

I mentioned Scholastic last month. This is a link to
their Thanksgiving resources for children. They’ll be posting a
Mayflower virtual field trip soon and you can even sign up to receive
historical letters from a Pilgrim girl and Wampanoag boy.

Dropbox-Free
Dropbox is great even if you don’t
have a device that uses apps. Dropbox allows you to save documents
and open them on any computer. I LOVE Dropbox and use it constantly
for school work. No more thumb drives to keep track of for me. The
Dropbox app is a way for you to get pictures from your device to your
computer or visa versa. The same thing with PDF documents. You need
to sign up for the free account at www.dropbox.com

There are many choices of apps from
this company-puzzles, phonics, I like books-a whole series of books
about things kids like, and more. The thing I love about these apps
is that they are so customizable. The apps use bright colorful
photographs but you can add your own, you can record your own voice
or in the case of the books the children can record themselves
reading the books and under the settings button there are more ways
to customize the app.
