There are some amazing websites out there for children's reference! A couple of my favorites are the Carnegie Library of Pittsburg's Kid's page (http://www.clpgh.org/kids/) and Grolier Online Kids Splash (http://go-kids.grolier.com/). Not only are they colorful and fun, but they also have tons of easily accessible information.
From the Carnegie page, kids can look up a book, or play a game, or get live homework help, or write a story, among many other things. There's a section for little kids, a section for big kids, a section for parents, and a section for educators. The grown-up sections have a plethora of resources for everything from reading to your baby to theme-based book lists.
The Grolier page is full of fun activities. You can watch a video of a valcano exploding, or look up information on sealions, or find out what happened on this day in 1791. It's also broken down into sections for elementary, middle school, senior high, adults and educators/librarians.
There are tons more out there, and each day I will highlight a few more. If you have any that you would like to share, please send them on!
