mt vernon elementary tech lab (google this site) AWESOME EDUCATIONAL GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
Often times there are links that will take your child away from the educational game and to a site that is just for fun. Check with your child often to make sure they are still on the educational website. Look in the address bar. Does it still say the site you put them on? If not, they are most likely just playing a fun game with no educational value.

A positive learning climate in a school for young children is a composite of many things. It is an attitude that respects children. It is a place where children receive guidance and encouragement from the responsible adults around them. It is an environment where children can experiment and try out new ideas without fear or failure. It is an atmosphere that builds children’s self-confidence so they dare to take risks. It is an environment that nurtures a love of learning. ~Carol B. Hillman (20th Century), U.S. early childhood educator.
