Lots of sites to visit, hope you forgive me

© Wayne Dawe

This month I received a nice email from the folk at Ticklebugs.com inviting me to check out their website. They offer an online version of their book which I thought was quite amusing and entertaining. Check it out yourself and let me know what you think. Slylock Fox is one of the comics carried in our local paper but I never thought to check to check out his website until I got another email, this time ftom the cartoonist himself. If oyu have seen the comic in the paper you'll know what to expect, if you haven't I'm sure you'll find the trip worthwhile.

My kids love Blue's Clues even though it supposed to be for preschoolers. The official Blue's Clue's page is at http://www.nickjr.com/ a good unofficial site can be found here. I came across a site that was a little bit different recently. This site has X-ray images of flowers. I thought they were pretty neat with the subtle black and white pictures.

Now a few sites from comp.internet.net-happenings

The weather has become so warm here that all the snow has melted and there will be no icerink at my house this year. To make up for this I submit: All About Glaciers

"A glacier site with something for everyone from glaciologists to grade school students:

• links to glacier research, projects, and glaciological organizations online
• glacier facts, questions and answers, a glossary, a gallery, bibliography and links to glacier information on the web
• top news sources feature recent glacier happenings
• a quick tour through the life of a glacier."

Lightspan.com (home of the Global Schoolhouse) is a free K-12 education portal for teachers, parents, and students that provides an extensive collection of invaluable resources, projects, online expeditions, lesson plans, communication tools, website builders, grade-specific activities
