WELCOME TO THE RESOURCE ROOM!
I know many of you have been waiting for me to post and I've finally figured out how to do it! Below are just a few of the websites that have educational activities for kids of all ages. Some of the links are specifically for 1st grade, but you can go in and change it to another grade as needed. Even if your child does not receives resource services, these are fabulous ways to reinforce classroom instruction.
