This is the modified curriculum that we use in our classroom that is aligned to the Louisiana State Extended Standards. Each student has a login (their first and last name) and a password (the first letter of their first and last name followed by 2019, for example Jennifer Crockett – jc2019). When you click on the link from this page, the website login page will come up and you will see your student’s initials and a character icon. Click on the picture for your child and enter the password. They have unlimited login capability and each lesson can be done an unlimited number of times. The units are month long and will change automatically with the new unit. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED HELP LOGGING IN!

Politics, the environment, entertainment, sports, and health are just some of the topics covered. TIME for Kids isn't as interactive as most of the other website on this list of educational websites for kids, but the site does tackle subjects that are in the news now while being written for an audience of children.
How Stuff WorksThis is a good site for Science and Social Studies topics. The articles break down subjects like autos, culture, entertainment, science, money, technology and more. Games, quizzes, and videos also round out your children's learning experience.

Letting your student listen to stories being read multiple times a day is very important for his/her learning. There is a nice selection of books here.

Sesame StreetIf your student is one that is still working on learning the alphabet, they can choose from hundreds of the Sesame Street show's video clips and play games that help them learn letters, animal sounds, rhymes, colors, and more.
