Homeschool World Forum

www.funbrain.com is great, is has all kinds of games, some of them educational and some just arcade games.
www.activitypad.com has some games, but they might be too young.
http://games.funschool.com/games, has games for pre-k through 6th.

I can't wait to hear others discoveries.

LOL, I was gonna suggest funbrain too. Here is another one ... http://www.pbs.org/parents/fungames/

It's not really a learning site, but I like myself.com for their holiday reading lists:

Scholastic has some great activities both on and off-line:

Family Fun has a TON of activities, games and etc:
http://familyfun.go.com

Here are some of our favorite websites:

1. www.peepandthebigwideworld.com - this is free and focuses on science

2. www.noggin.com - might be a little young for a second grader

3. www.nickjr.com

4. Time4Learning.com - this one costs roughly $20 a month or you can pay a flat fee for a year. I actually use this to supplement our homeschool. They have scope and sequenced lessons in language arts, math, science, and social studies. They even keep grades and have a fun section with games. We love it. It is not a complete curriculum but my kids do learn from it. It is totally protected from the web and that is a big plus for me.

5. www.crayola.com

Hope you enjoy these!!

My daughter lives on www.neopets.com

It is a great site and I find myself playing some of the games I think this site combines fun with alot of real life learning that our kids do not even know they are doing. For example earning "neopoints" and tending to a bank account at the neopian bank. Thats just an example. Check it out parents. It really is an awesome site.

Twoods and Cry -Through neopets my dd developed an inerest in learning html/webpage design, for that I am thankful to neopets. They recently, however, banned her original account and have offered little help as to why. They claim she either fell for a scam or she went somewhere she wasn't suppose to - she denied this and still doesn't have access to an account she has worked hard on for a couple/few years.

Here is my contribution for a good learning site for 2nd graders (or any grade for that matter). I have my 2nd grader visit it on occasion. I also own Alfred's music theory on cd - this and Alfred's are very similar.

www.brainpop.com

It has several videos that are free. To have full access, it is $10 per month. It is great to supplement nearly any unit.

Multiplication.com has a free game called Timezattack that my kids love.
