Looking for ways to make learning fun OUTSIDE the school day? Here is a short list and I'll add more as I find them. With the lack of support for public education, we need to help young people realize that learning (as opposed to education) can be fun! (Thank you, Jeff Giddens for that reminder) Curiosity and exploration of ideas and topics should be encouraged and enjoyed with our children! Below are some websites for various ages, and some are traditional, others.....well, you'll see! Stay tuned!
And, by the way, I have NO financial interest in any of these sites, and offer them for your evaluation. I do not claim that any are better than other sites, am merely compiling sites that appear to be interesting!
