Kindergarten Corner

Please check out my Kindergarten Corner ... as I have recently added several new games and websites. 
(Last Spring I created this section so that my students had easy access to learning games while using the computers in our classroom or at home. It has been a HUGE hit!) 

I can't wait to share these with my new students this fall.
