Before I start –A Happy New Year to all of you! Ouch! FYI, in 16 days I’ll be 35 and older.
Nothing much I would say about 2008 except I just need to read more than usual, I hope!
Back to the original topic –my kids are in a long holiday (until early January 2008 ) and basically I was not so happy with the kids spending too much time playing or watching TV. Imran would be gone missing with his friends playing — only came back looking for food and before I knew it he would disappear again – and Jaja would be watching cartoon all day as usual. Ammar was bored and during this cold winter in Riyadh he would spend more time under the blanket than anything else ( I think he got it from me 
) .
So, I thought of getting them to do some written exercise , the books looked soooo boring — I decide to look in the internet for some Math/Science/English etc etc worksheet exercises. I find a few but one of them Edhelper.com seemed to be the best of them all.
The website looks simple but rich with contents, you can find categories of worksheets — Math, English , Geography , Science and what I like most about it is the Critical Thinking parts + Puzzle . It covers materials for K-12 — (kindergarten to High School) and surprisingly for Special Needs too.
The website can generate random pdf worksheets and can be nicely printed on A4 paper based on the categories chosen (with answers too!) so parents can also plan a daily exercise for the kids accordingly. You should check it out — you can choose to use them for free or decide to have a wider selection or full access by paying some fee at maximum of USD40/year
