I have stumbled across a lot of great sites in the past couple of years. Some of them are really good, but the kids are bored with them in a few days. The best sites are updated often, and have various facets to be discovered. These five sites are ones that I found most useful with my second graders:

  • Cool Math Games
  • Spelling City (I have to say this site is a must if you teach spelling. You can save your lists and there are sections for spelling and vocabulary with tons of games).
  • Read Write Think (student interactives) You will need to direct the kids to the activities you want them to work with.
  • I Know That (create an account all the kids can log in with)
  • Storyline (streaming popular kid lit read by famous folks)
I hope you find these sites helpful.
