The Game Classroom

I only have time for a quick post today. We are off to the park for our play date. It is not very warm, but it has been a while since we all got together, so I will suck it up. I found this new website, with all educational games on it. It is called Game Classroom, and as far as I can tell it is free. I have not actually had a chance for the kids to try it yet, but will soon. I love games that are educational, so I am sure we will use this a lot. I actually found it quite by accident, on Facebook.

Emotional Intelligence, Feelings and Emotions

Tomorrow for Health class we are covering feelings, and emotions. I tried to find a cool video, but none of them were really geared towards kids. I did however find the cool video below, about emotional intelligence. It is more for parents, and I found it very interesting. I use the Kids Health website, for lots of different subjects for kids. Check their site for tons of free educational resources, on all kinds of subjects related to kids.

Supply and Demand, Economics For Kids

Today for Social Studies, our lesson is Serve it up economics. Here are two supplemental lessons you can add to your existing lesson. The video below is one, and two is here I like the Learning Haven website. I found it last year, when making our curriculum, then I forgot about it. They have tons of lessons, and ideas for teaching History, and Social Studies. The other website I want to share is I Know That This website was made aware to me, by a member of our playgroup. It is all educational games, in all subjects for kids up to age 12. My kids love the History, and Science games especially the deep sea diving. Check it out, it is free, and awesome.
