Welcome to this page. These are a range of sites I have visited for activities that we use in our class or for information I need as an educator. Parents and visitors are more than welcome (and encouraged) to visit these sites. I will try to upload more sites as we discover and trial them. **NEW** for TEACHERS: As teachers and educators, we sometimes need a 'Pick Me UP' or a refreshing reminder of why we are still teaching. I have decided to add links to 'BLOGS' from other educators that can give you the 'Ahhhhhh' you might need now and then and YouTubes you might like. by Pat Hensley ||  ||
