Hi,
As you might have heard summer school has been canceled in Los Angeles for Grades K-8. A little research reveals we're not the only school district in the country with this problem.
To try and offer a very partial remedy, my students and I are compiling a list of online free resources for students K-8 in Language Arts and Math.
If you know of any sites with strong free content, please send them to: sosproject@gmail.com. Please put either LangArts or Math in the subject area.
Or you can bookmark them (in Delicious or Diigo) using for tags: "sosproject" and then whatever else you can tell us (grade, LangArts/Math, topic). (We also have a Diigo group, "SOS Project."). More details here:

We plan to compile these by grade, subject, and topic and put them online by July 6th.
Thank you in advance for any life preservers you can toss to these students.
I'm attaching the guidelines as an rtf for easy access.
Of course, you could also just reply to this thread!
best,
Mark Marino
