No papers to grade tonight. Hooray! That means a little me time. Here are a few of my favorite browsing sites when I have some precious free time...
1. Scholastic Top Teaching Blogs
Like, like, LIKE! These blogs are great, in my teacher opinion, because they give multitudes of ideas for the classroom. They are also written by teachers who are still in the classroom, not sitting behind a desk reminiscing about their past classroom experiences.
2. www.worksheetworks.com
This is a great website that shares maps, graphic organizers, printable Math games, puzzles, and charts, and lots of extra practice. At the beginning of each unit, I check this site out to see if there will be anything useful for my lesson planning.
3. www.superteacherworksheets.com
This is another great lesson planning helper. This site has great holiday ideas and extras. It also has lots of extra practice ideas, and I really like the comprehension passages, articles and poems. I really like that this site does not just have printables, it also has ideas to supplement some of my units.
4. www.enchantedlearning.com
What a blessing that my school district has an account to this website. I like its encyclopedia-esque explorers and inventors pages. It also has neat fill-in-the-blank maps and charts, cloze activities, and much more.
