few online resources we have been enjoying

We just discovered this today while learning our East China Geography for CC:

Geography puzzle (http://www.yourchildlearns.com/map-puzzles.htm)
(this is a geography puzzle. I like how if you don't know it, you can click on it and you can skip it. The time it takes you for you to finish a puzzle is timed so you can see your improvements. Of course, they also have interactive maps which are helpful.) J really like this.

Book adventure (http://www.bookadventure.com/)
This site has over 7,000 books from which to choose from to test reading comprehension (normally 10 questions). They also encourage kids to read books so they can get prizes but I just use it as an occasional comprehension quiz. You do need an account with them. Or you can just use if you are looking for some book titles. This reminds me of the accelerated reader program J used while in school. Now the reading level on these books seems off to me but that might just be me.

Anyway, hope it is useful to some of you.
