Laura asks…
What are some site that I can get educational work for my third and fifth graders?
I feel that in the milwaukee public schools that my kids are not being mentally challenged enough, i would like to find printable assignments for my children to learn from. Please suggest some sites with real assignments for them, all teachers are welcome to leave information.
Michelle answers:
These sites do require a $20.00 yearly fee to have full use of all their printable materials, but it is well worth it.
You can check them out for free, but it is a lot of curriculum in one place.

Further, you can ask someone at home or one of your friends to help you out; maybe take some sort of spot tests, etc. You can also seek the help of your maths teacher.
Hope these help
All the very best 🙂
Michael asks…
What are some enertaining sites to go on at summer school?
I finished my assignments, but we still can’t go on any good sites really on this computer, its heavily filtered. Name some sites that wouldn’t probably be filtered!
