Are Your Books Organized?
 Read Challis' review of this FREE tool that helps organize books! She says, " BookBump allows you to organize your
booklists to meet your needs, creating and naming them as you prefer.
For each book on your list, you have the option of marking it as one
you've read; or one you have borrowed or own. You can also add
personal ratings, notes, and more. How your lists are displayed is up
to you!" |
Games & Activities for Environment!
 Debbie reviewed this FREE tool, EcoKids, and she says, "The soundbits that can be
downloaded of different animals voices are awesome. The one of frogs
singing made us all long for spring. There are reading lists to entice
reluctant readers with an interest in the outdoors into reading."
