National Geographic for Kids
http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/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!
http://earth.google.com/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 figureit out from arrows on a picture. Facial expressions are also VERY important.

http://www.songsforteaching.com/This is the website for Christian Book Distributors which has ALL kinds ofgreat 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.
