Once again I love your article! I pulled up 2nd grade and my daughter and I have been going through your different subject links. Thank you! What a great list of recommendations for each grade. I am going to refer your site to the 2nd grade teacher that I am doing my student observation for.
I’m so glad you like it. Feel free to add any you find useful with your daughter. I’ll be updating it over the holiday.

We were using this for earlier this year. We planned to use some content on the website with students on 10/2 and it wouldn’t load for us. It loaded as a site map. Below is the link I’m referring to.

We really like the site and would love to use it.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Jack
That site is the master, with links to all the grade levels. Did the links not show up? What browser did you use?
Thanks.

I loved the websites. Have you thought about creating a page for iPad friendly websites. I.E. no flash required.
I hadn’t thought of that. It’s a great idea.
