[LM_NET] HIT: Famous Women

[Ellie Weiss <eweiss@NBCS.K12.NH.US>]

This is the Information people shared in no particular order.  I'll probably spend 
the rest of today sorting through it.  
Thanks to all

I use the following sites with fifth and sixth graders, so they might be too much 
for a third-grade audience, but perhaps they will provide a starting point.  The 
"Women in American History" site has an extensive alphabetical listing for 
click-and-search.  Each woman is represented by a full page of text and often some 
hyperlinks to other media.

When ever I look for kid appropriate web sites I go to kidsclick.org (note org not 
a com)

and when I put in Women's history they seem to have relevant stuff for grades 3-6th 

Kathleen Krull's Lives of Famous Women - funny and 
engaging. GraceAnne
