Wonderopolis

I added a new web site to our list. It is Wonderopolis.org.  This is a great site to spur questions, build background knowledge, and spark writing ideas.  Each day a new question is posed.  When you click on the question, you are taken to information, videos, etc. that help answer the question.  You can also go back to see previous questions/answers.  This is appropriate for all grade levels and would be a great morning work activity.  Check it out!
