Make Your Own Font

This is a great site. Fontcapture will allow you to create your own font and use it in your writing. I would think this would be a neat way for students to practice their own handwriting and design their own font to use in any word processing program. All you need is to print out the sheet that is found on this site and fill it out using a fine black pen. Then you scan the sheet, upload it to the site and it will translate the information into a font that you can use on your computer.

Numbers Web Site - A break from Open Office/Word

I just found this site all about numbers. It has a lot of information in it, a good place for students to have a math dictionary with places to practice their math and it is able to be downloaded and placed on a computer so you are not dependent on a good internet connection. Numbers has many good features. If you are working on teaching students pictograms, you can go to the pictogram graph and have a wonderful interactive web site. At the bottom of the pictogram page, there is a farm animal pictograph link that would be good with a kindergarten or first grade.
