WEBSITES WITH GAMES & ACTIVITIES
There are so many great websites for first graders to practice reading, writing, math, science, and social studies skills. Most sites have games and activities that the kids really enjoy playing. Our tech specialist, Mrs. Pomraning, also lists the sites that she uses with the students on the Sunnyside homepage on her website. If you have a website that your child enjoys, please email me or post on the blog. I'd love to add it to the list. Thanks!
