hi

I Hope people had a good thanksgiving:)

We are working on developing a curriculum for the ymca staff to use in the 
cyberYs with their groups of kids.
I was just going to use a few web sites....pbskids.org and youthlearn.org
and plug in some lessons from those sites.
But I think there might be a better way..
Here is what I'm looking for:

focus on literacy
grades k-5
a "package"
nationally recognized
using computer/internet (resources)

Does anyone know of such a product?

thanks.
matt

We also pay the price of learning to fear each other.||
You see it everywhere: the fear of smiling and greeting someone else,||
fear of sitting to closely to certain people on the T and the overt||
fear of even rising our eyes to meet another’s while walking.||
It’s funny that the city forces us to live so compactly on top of each 
other,||
but we resist acknowledging that we do.
