Mrs. Pfaffenberger's First Grade
WEB SITES FOR MRS. PFAFFENBERGER'S STUDENTS
Dear Parents, Encourage your children to view the below web sites. I have selected sites that are fun and, more importantly, educational. Although many include "games", all of them are ones that will help your child learn and help them to be successful in first grade and beyond. (Education is a cooperative effort between teacher, parents, and children. If you know of other good web sites for first grade children--sites that your children enjoy--please send them to me so that I can add them to my list below. Computer learning works best with either help from teachers or parents.) These computer links are NOT required work for your students. I suggest them only for a fun way for your child to learn. Email me your ideas, websites, or comments to MAILTO:chrispf@charter.net Thank you. .......Mrs. Pfaffenberger
