Day 3 - Valuable Website


What is a website you can’t live without?

It’s actually an online database for K-3 students. There are 4 databases that you can purchase Animals, Biography, Social Studies, and Earth and Space. The text is perfect for my young readers and the computer can even read it aloud to students. They can click on a highlighted word and the computer will define it for them. There are also printables, short videos, range maps, timelines and learning games.

The first two years I paid for it with grant money and library funds. By then the teachers were hooked and I was out of grant options. Since they had spoken so highly of it this year my principal funded it. My teachers have grown to LOVE it and it’s important that you get it on your side by showing thme how fabulous it really is. Also tell your ESL teacher and other teachers about it. If they have a student who has a low reading level then those students would find PebbleGo beneficial.
