Sorry we missed CANADA DAY! We had technical difficulties!

What's New This is our ever changing list of recently added sites (starts below).  These are not in alphabetical order. Mostly, sites get added on the top and eventually get taken off the bottom.

Jellyfish Facts "Jellyfish Facts aims to provide information about jellyfish, helping people to understand these beautiful and interesting creatures. We have 6 sections, including Jellyfish Species List, Photo Gallery, and Jellyfish as Pets. Check us out!" We did. "Jellyfish Nate" is obviously fascinated by jellyfish, or jellies, as some now call them. Anything you want or need to know about them is on this well organized site. Even eating them, which is good because they're taking over much of the oceans. Going in Animals.

Zebra Keys "Free Online Piano Lessons Our site provides over 50 free piano lessons for various levels of difficulty. Each piano lesson is accompanied by visual flash animations that allow learners to view and hear songs as well as play along with the animations on their own piano keyboard. Learning piano with Zebra Keys is fun and easy!" Those among you who learnt piano the old fashioned way may be a wee bit skeptical. Worth your checking out or it wouldn't be here. For ages 13 and up. Going in Music.

Castles on the Web "offers an extensive database of all things Castle related including a castle photo gallery, free castle web pages, hundreds of castle links, castle site of the day, castles for kids and more!" For our favorite trio of 10 year old castle freaks, and a few hundred thousand more like them. Going in Social Studies and in Technology.

We want to give the world access to music without the legal hassles so common today.

Going in Music.

Homeschool Skedtrack Best Sites "Submit, comment, or vote on your favorite Educational Site!" Look at all submitted sites at once or use the menu bar along the top of the page to look by subject area. They even listed Good Sites for Kids at least once! This looks like an excellent clearinghouse for homechoolers. Going in Homeschool.

Why Homeschool A blog we found. "Mission statement: On this blog we explore why homeschooling can be a better option for children and families than a traditional classroom setting. We'll also explore homeschooling issues in general, educational thoughts, family issues, and some other random stuff." There's some good reading and discussion points here, also we liked the style. Going in Homeschool & in Teachers & Parents.

Castillo's Corner is a fine portal site from the State of Oregon Superintendent of Schools. "Castillo’s Corner for Kids connects kids to a variety of learning resources that provide links to information about such topics as math, art, history, government, reading, music, science, and transportation. Superintendent of Public Instruction, Susan Castillo, created Castillo’s Corner because more and more students are using computers in their schools, libraries and homes and she wanted to provide them and their parents with links to information that would heighten student learning and fun."

DinoDictionary "Dinosaurs from A-Z! DinoDictionary.com is your resource for hunting dinosaurs. With profiles of over 300 known dinosaurs, immerse yourself in a wealth of knowledge about the giants that roamed the earth so long ago!" We had this on our site at one time, but it somehow escaped!
