Site of interest for teachers...

To love what you do and feel that it matters...how could anything be more fun? ~ Katharine Graham



This tool lets you rearrange your classroom without actually moving a thing!  Pretty neat!

For students, the classroom environment is very important. The size of the classroom and interior areas, the colors of the walls, the type of furniture and flooring, the amount of light, and the room arrangement all influence how students learn. Thoughtful arrangement of the indoor and outdoor environments will support your learning goals for students.

“Great Teachers Have High Expectations For Their Students, But Higher Expectations For Themselves” ~ Todd Whitikar


 NASA Kids' Club has educational games, engaging multimedia and visuals, and educational activities to cover K-4 students' developmental and learning abilities as addressed in national education standards in math, science and technology. The skills levels provide a natural progression through the site that allows users to find games that are best suited to their varying abilities. Developmentally appropriate content is based on national education standards and benchmarks per grade level.

NASA is on "a mission" to educate kids about space and what it’s like to be an astronaut in a fun and challenging way that only NASA can pull off! It's great fun for home or your classroom!
