Games to reinforce math, LA and some science skills for kindergarten and Grade 1 students.
"How to integrate Gudli into the classroom: Gudli is a fun way for kids to practice learning in math, English and science. These games make great center activities to support learning. The games are short enough that they can be set up on classroom computers and students can take turns reinforcing learning and skill practice. Gudli has enough games that students can play several in a lab setting where each student has a computer. Students can choose the games that best meet their learning needs.
Gudli is a great site to share with parents looking for some ways to reinforce learning over the summer!" iLearnTechnology
