Grade 6 teacher and Franklin Institute Online Fellow Karen Walkowiak at Holy Redeemer Catholic School in Kanata, Ontario, Canada has created this 6th Grade Treasure Trove as a cyberhaven for 6th grade teachers. It's her way of being able to network with other 6th grade teachers around the world, share ideas online, share and gain teaching tips, and use the Internet to enhance classroom curriculum.

Mrs. Seagraves teaches an elementary gifted program called QUEST in Montgomery, Alabama, USA to students in grades K-6. This site features individual student pages showcasing their work, several complete units for teachers, and lots of information about their classroom including Internet projects, field trips, and their desktop publishing business “QUEST Graphics.” At this site you can create a virtual pond, play garden concentration, and lots of other neat games. I found great innovative units here, especially on Ancient Egypt for my own grade 5 class!
