Here are some educational websites you can explore with your child. They include games which are fun for children and also educational. I have reasonably reviewed the pages on the recommended websites. I have found nothing objectionable so far, but it is the parents’ responsibility to monitor their children’s use of the internet. The teacher and the school are not responsible for students’ use of the internet.
