REVIEW:
The Kids Farm Web site comes from the Kids Farm ranches in Colorado. Children can visit the ranches to learn about farm animals and the workings of a farm. By visiting this site, students can get similar information. The site has sections for information about farm animals, wild animals, kids' rodeos, crops, and equipment. Each section has photo images from the farm or other sources. Every area includes short background text and information on the subject. This is an excellent site for elementary educators looking for a complete unit about farms. Children and parents may wish to visit the site on their own for an informative, educational family site.
