Hey Everyone

As you may know I am building a computer for my wife's 3rd grade classroom -Link-. Thanks to a bunch of charitable donations the computer is just about finished.

Now, I want to go and purchase some educational games for the kids but I dont know whats out there. Any of you guys have kids, siblings that could recommend me some games/educational software.

When I was growing up we had Oregon Trail and Carmen Santiago...not sure if they still sell those. Also, I dont think games like Spiderman or Lego Starwars would go over well. Thanks!!
