Check this out!  Chris Smith collected and created a virtual clock collection.

look at the Fun and Unusual clocks category, and the cuckoo clocks. These two are my favorites!

You can add them to your desktop.

One great game, called Sweetshop, asks children to buy candy and pay with English coins.  Just click on the STYLE button, and the pictures of coins become written numbers, and the CLICK/SHOW TOTAL button allows students to watch as the candy price adds up. It's a great way to virtually practice shopping skills.

These skills obviously transfer as real-life skills and practice in a safe way.

Student Login: Password1

This password is a generic one I made for demonstrations.
You can look around like a student, without using your child's password. We would prefer students play games themselves, with their current abilities and skills, rather than help (and answers) from parents.

Study: Games, Video Improve Preschooler Literacy

Here's an article I found very interesting!  The reading material was interesting, but watch the accompanying video of the students in action!  It's inspiring to watch how the children are obviously learning and growing!

Even more interesting is seeing your own students and children in action! It is great! (I know, I'm watching it everyday!) Please come in, visit, and observe.
