Dear Parents and Students,
I have picked some links to fun and learning-oriented web sites for your use that are basically free. However, you will see advertising and/or places to buy items on some sites. Having advertisements on the sites helps the sites to remain free to you. Some sites require membership. Others have a combination of free and/or membership fees, for extra access. I have given a brief summary of what the site includes. Have fun with these sites!
