I found my 6 websites from del.icio.us

Spreadsheet

Colonial America Webquest - This webquest has some great text book information to help with students understanding Colonial life. Websites for research are not available and should be added.

Japan Webquest - This webquest would be great for our first graders to use for International Day.

Holiday Webquest - This webquest is great for first graders. Lots of picture icons to help students navigate.

Underground Railroad Webquest - This webquest would be great for our third graders. Some great resources accompany this site.

States Webquest - This webquest focuses on the mid-western states. This could easily be adapted to add more resources for each of the other states. Our third graders could also add a PowerPoint component.

Pirate Webquest - This webquest is on the four most infamous pirates. This is very cute and uses some great organizational strategie
