Learning About Finance
Inspiration, Motivation, and Economic Education for Young Adults
I saw a public service announcement about this site. For those of you who have teenagers or college students who are interested or need to know about finances, this site has a lot of great information. You can learn a lot, too.
Learning About the History of Food
Key Ingredients - America by Food (a Smithsonian Institution Site)
I ran across this site yesterday when searching for a recipe and thought it would be a fun summer activity for those with bored kids home for the summer.
http://www.keyingredients.org/
There is 500 years of American Food, America's Cookbook, Eating Across America and dates for a traveling exhibit.
This is the link to the recipes section: http://www.keyingredients.org/002_recipes/002_recipes_home.asp
Cooking for Engineers
This site gives great step by step instructions with photos for making dishes. This is a great site for the novice or expert cook. The following link is the list of recipes, click on one of them and enjoy.

Hi! I'm a teacher/librarian, and I would like to list a few of my favorite sites for education:
http://www.sitesforteachers.com (to view many sites)
http://www.abcteach.com - free printables
http://www.edhelper.com - free printables
The last one listed is my favorite for students of all ages.
There are lots of great sites for kids of all ages. I know a lot of preschool sites because I teach at Head Start and use these for lesson planning. One of my favorite as a parent and teacher is http://www.learningpage.com
You will find printable workbook pages, information sheets, diorama materials, and even some printable books! Everything is organized by topic or grade level and it's absolutely FREE!
Try http://www.starfall.com. My son is 2 years old but I've used it with students up to age 7.
