Sorry kids, now you don't have any excuses for missing school assignments. Go to www.bjpinchbeck.com for homework help. The host of this site is a 12 year old who, with his dad's help, started his own website.

I couldn't possibly tell you everything available there, but here is a "drop in the bucket" sample. Go to the Foreign Language icon and the list of related sites includes Spanish lessons for beginners and learning Arabic. The Social Studies icon takes you to information on: the States of the Union, a geography world link and flags of the worlds.

There is an SAT vocabulary list, a weekly spelling list for older and younger kids and a Spanish vocabulary word list. WOW! If you go to the Music & Art icon, a large list of related links will be displayed including the National Gallery of Art link, Lyrics World and The Greatest Films movie link. In Health and Physical Education you can find the calorie count of your favorite fast food burger (or not... ignorance is bliss, right?)

Going on to Playtime, there is a large selection of fun things to do such as: KinderArt for young children, How Stuff Works, and the Internet Public Library Story hour. "Beege" even caught Oprah Winfrey's attention. He will be appearing on her show in February 2000. Even if it didn't get Oprah's stamp of approval, it sure got mine! (Hey guys, turn off the PlayStation. It's homework time...) Until next time.
