9. http://www.sjsites.com/internet http://www.sjsites.com These are WebPages that I have put together for K-6 students. I screen these sites and make sure that they are safe for our students. I update them as often as I can. I am constantly looking for wonderful websites and when I find one it is added to these pages. If a link that I feel is inappropriate is added to any of these pages, I will delete it from my webpage.
