National Geographic for Kids

GOOGLE EARTH - Really cool geography program that you can download for 
free.  The kids really enjoyed watching me use the program, but I am sure 
they would like to try it for themselves even better.  They could become 
quite proficient at geography and map skills by using this site.  Moms and 
Dad will like it too!

American Sign Language site that shows little video clips of almost any word 
or phrase you can think of.  It is nice to see how they are done rather than trying to figure 
it out from arrows on a picture.  Facial expressions are also VERY important.

This is one website that has some of the music CD's that I have for teaching different concepts. 
 When you get to the site, look up the CD's by Artist.  
Dr. Jean has great songs.  I use the "Kiss your Brain" and "Ole, Ole, Ole".  
Greg and Steve are also some that I have "We All Live Together" - Vol 2.

This is the website for Christian Book Distributors which has ALL kinds of 
great books and CDs and much more.  This is a good place to get some of the 
Bible CDs that I use in class.  I mostly use Steve Green - "Hide 'Em in Your 
Heart" scripture memory songs.  There is a vol 1 and 2.  I use both.  Some 
of the songs come from The Donut Man, Veggie Tales as well as a few other CDs.
