good morning! site and thinking games

Now that you've gotten to know your students some and have begun to establish rules and procedures, I am beginning to come around to classes for a one-shot lesson - to tell students about myself and the new position and to introduce a page of links to information sites that change on a daily basis. The hope is that you might find a way to integrate this site into your curriculum or make it an independent activity or learning center. By the way, I'm still on the lookout for a site that has a good math problem that changes daily - sort of like a Problem of the Day. If you find anything, please send it my way. The Good Morning!

The Discovery Channel runs a great website called Discovery Schools. There's lots of good information here so take the time to browse the site at some point. But in the meantime, check out Brain Boosters, a section with short, top-notch puzzles and games that deal with logic, reasoning, and other creative thinking skills. This site will challenge the mind - even the adult one! And it's fun! Brain Boosters at http://school.discovery.com/brainboosters
