I invite all parents to view the websites that are commonly used to help students succeed.

• Starfall for students having trouble with sounds or reading it is excellent!
  
• Gamequarium the site that swims with learning fun.
• PBS.org is also fun, educational, and safe. This site also has to separate divisions for k-2 and 3-any age that likes cartoons.
  
• NickJr is a good site for those not yet in school and kindergarten.
  
• FunSchool for the older students--you can choose the grade level.
• Dictionary.com look up words online.
• Good Typing free online typing practice.
• Crayola Kids coloring pages, craft ideas and more.
• Highlights puzzles and games.
• Ask Jeeves find answers for kids.
• Alabama Virtual Library primarily a group of online databases that have magazine, journal, and newspaper articles for research.
• Prongo is good for home use, but you will have some adds that pop up according to what kind of firewall that you have--I have seen nothing offensive while working with this site at home.
  

 
I would love to help you become actively involved in your child's technology education. If you would like to visit please call to set up a time.

Sonya Smith, Librarian

If you are interested in learning basic computer skills so that you can keep tabs on your children, or you just want to learn to use email, I will be glad to help you with these--all you have to do is contact me. I want to see the community as well as our children flourish.

My family and I visited the USS Alabama- this link is full of information about the ship--Did you know that it is not the first one and only ship with the name Alabama?--click on the link to learn more.
