I spent a lot of time on Thinkfinity.  I think it's a wonderful website and I see a lot of potential of using this in my classroom. I first took a look at Summer Learning Explorations (being that it is summer :)). It had a lot of fun things on it. This had ideas I could give parents for summer as well as things I would use with my niece and nephew.  One of the neat thing I found on this section was 'Wonderments.' It's different "I wonder" questions and when you click on them it sends you the link to read about the answer. This was very fun!

After I had fun playing around on the Summer Science Fun page, I decided to check out lessons I could use in my classroom. I found one using one of my favorite books "A Bad Case of the Stripes." It's about bullying and I could definitely see using this in my classroom. Many great writing topics on a great topic! I could explore this website for hours, and actually did spend quite some time on it. I even added it to my diigo!!!! I can't wait to explore this site more and use more of the lessons I find in my class!
