basics – math, language, social studies, science, and even an intro to basic

Spanish, French and German. Activities are presented in a fast-paced,

arcade-game style that kids will recognize and enj. Each learning machine

is loaded with hi-tech features such as word proceors, electronic addre books,

plug-in acceories, and PC uplinks – tools that go hand-in-hand with the way

kids learn, play and use information.

As a bonus, each Grade School Learning product includes a ee 1-year

membership to www.planetvtech.com. Here kids can play, learn and hang out,

all within a safe and secure web environment that’s fun for play and approved

by Mom.

With the Grade School Learning Series, kids can acce a way to learn that

closely matches the way th already live and play. We thank you for trusting
