ABCYA.com A Must Know Site
Do you the website www.abcya.com ? If not, you should. It is an awesome resource for your students. It is organized by grade level and subject area to make it really easy to navigate for all ages. My students love it because the graphics are a lot like video games. And who doesn't love a site that makes students think while having fun? My favorite is the math section, but there are great logic games too. I usually connect the logic games to making inferences... like think about what you already know to make a smart guess. Be sure to click through the higher grades too. I found my second graders can do things on the fourth grade level. We used Word Clouds to make a cover for our autobiographies. Have fun!

List of Logic Links for Gifted Students
Having gifted students and regular education students together often leaves me with the task of differentiating most of my daily teaching. I am constantly searching for resources to help add to the depth and complexity of the common core standards without accelerating my students too far ahead. A Great Day To Learn is a site I recently stumbled upon. Mrs. Venosdale thinks outside the box to provide authentic experiences for her students. Here is a direct link to an awesome list of thinking and logic games. Check her out.
