Good research sites for 4th graders, please read details.?

I am helping out in my daughters computer lab at school. They are doing research on animals, but it seems like many sites that we try to go to are blocked by the school (including Wikipedia).

Does anybody know of good research sites that hopefully the school might not block? Not just for animals, but stuff in general so I can use them in the future.

It all depends on your district policy!

I might suggest

http://wordweb.info/free/

http://www.enchantedlearning

http://www.kidport.com

as places to start. Yahoo was blocked by my district. I had a parent “hunt” for sites @ home & she “proofed” & bookmarked them. It takes time, but it’s the safe way to do it if your district will not give you a list of safe or blocked sites.

Type in 4th grade math, science, history, reading etc. and many sites will come up. Just be sure to check these out before giving out addresses. I learned my lesson when one of my students typed in “bears” for her project & came across more porn on one page than one could imagine.
