 Fun Websites for Kids Who Want More

We have been struggling with the best way to address the needs of children who require "above and beyond" the regular classroom curriculum. We have been working closely with district personnel who have expertise in this area. We have decided to create a section  called "Above & Beyond Curriculum." We will include websites and other ideas that we hope will challenge students and promote higher-level thinking.

To start with, here are some that we have previewed and recommend:

 Reading:
