I chose the bensguide.gpo.gov/website as my review. I was interested in this website because it has information I can have my Kindergartners access to make their originalf themed ABC books this spring. It listed separate sections for K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 grades. It had other links for parents and teachers, about the Ben site map, Help, Use Ben's guide as a learning tool, U.S. government publications for sale, curriculum links, U.S. Government Web Sites for kids, and U.S. Government Information in Libraries. When I clicked on the ABC section it wasn't a good link for my younger students so I clicked on the Yellowstone animal alphabet link that took me to the National Park website. It has pictures of the various animals that are listed in alphabetic order with a description of each and a sound option. There is a print and coloring book that goes with it as well. I would use this link with my Kindergartners as part of my science curriculum.
When I went under the bensguide.gpo.gov/ it had a K-2 section I accessed. Under this section it listed our nation, your neighborhood, Ben's ABC's, symbols for U.S. Govt, games & activities, and U.S. Govt websites for kids. The neighborhood section, games and activities, and U.S. Govt websites for kids are all website resources I can use with my Kindergarten class.

Dear Dixie,
Thanks for sharing bensguide.gpo.gov/. I agree with you on the ABC portion of this site being a little too advanced for kindergarten. I fell in love with the Yellowstone ABC feature. What a neat adventure the kids are able to capture, at their fingertips, with the click of a letter, they are able to view an animal with a brief description of the animal, capturing the excitement of Yellowstone Park.
