Three great sites!

Ever find yourself online with some extra time on your hands, but no new sites to browse? If so, why not take a look around some of my favourite places online?

Number One: The Canadian Encyclopedia
This is an excellent resource to find information on all things Canadian. The home page provides you with a search toolbar, links to the Canadian Encyclopedia of Music and Macleans Magazine, facts about "This Day In Canadian History" and even and Explore section full of games, quizzes and other interactive resources.

Number Two: The Yuckiest Site on the Internet
I'm not kidding folks -- there really is such a site! And on it, you will find all kinds of neat facts about some of the grossest things you wish you never knew. I suggest you check out "A Day In The Life Of Ralph Roach" over at Roach World, or maybe take the time to play some of the Yucky Games -- Toxic Waste is definitely my favourite!

Number Three: ZOOM!
Maybe you have seen this great PBS TV show yourself, or maybe you have not, but either way the website is definitely worth a visit! Any activity that is done on the show is archived online in the "Activities from the show" section - here you can find recipies, science experiments, arts and craft, games and plays, all with simple step by step instructions for you to follow. If you are a fan of the show, you can also read Cast Biographies and check out behind the scenes photos. Hours of fun, both online and off! *Literary Moment* -- Check out "Today's Pageturner" to find out about books that other kids your age have read and enjoyed!
