I like the site http://www.kindersite.org/Directory/DirectoryFrame.htm and it is a site I will visit frequently for resources to use in my class. This web 2.0 site is full of resources for kindergarten teachers. The resources are endless, from storybooks to lullabies to music and songs to games. I can basically create a lot of my lessons just by visiting this site. I also noticed that a lot of the activities on this site are differentiated by learning style and preference. The site is inline with my teaching style and my students will benefit from all of the wonderful resources on the site. I also loved the colorful graphics used on the site. The storybooks look inviting and make for a good way to motivate the students read. This is a site I can use also as part of my resources for my AR project since my research is on reading in kindergarten.
I can get so many ideas from the activities on this site; ideas that help can me build resources I can use to introduce students to technology using the appropriate content area for my young learners. The resources on this site will offer me measurable technology based tools to teach and assess my students. I am so excited! This site is indeed a great and very useful website for kindergarten students and teachers. Another thing I liked about the site is that it gives the age group for the storybooks so you can select the age appropriate books for your classroom reading. This is a good resource for read aloud and independent reading. There are also puppets to use with the books. This is a something I found that students enjoy. They love puppet shows and the resources on this site makes it easy to combine the storybooks with puppets.

Thanks for sharing this one. I have a K5, soon to be K4, and a wee K. I can use this at home with them. I look forward to seeing your ideas for Kindergarten. If I can help you with you AR let me know. I'm willing to be a critical friend.
