Practice and Engaging Activities for Use Outside of School

The best homework for your child is reading a good book or practicing what is learned in school by applying in real-world situations (ie. finding "th" words on street signs or identifying angles at the hockey rink) .  However, here are some site you may find helpful if you are planning to be away or looking for some additional practice for your child.
