1. Kid's Space--Beanstalk Stories http://www.kids-space.org/ Students write stories based on pictures through this site.

Guide to Grammar and Writing http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/ Suggestions, examples, quizzes, and links to help the writing process. This site is geared for high school students or can be used as an elementary/middle school teachers' resource. 3. Geosense: An Online World Geography Game http://www.geosense.net/ Test your knowledge of world geography alone or against another online player.
