Cool Websites for students to use at home:
I selected these particular sites for their excellent content and potential interest for the whole family. Please let me know if there is a problem with the links. These sites appear to be "safe" to view. However, it's best if a parent or responsible older person is with your child when any Internet sites are visited.
