Websites for Teachers Visit this reading site for many
different materials and lessons in comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, reader’s
theater, guided reading books, assessments and more! If you have a membership, the materials and
information you can get are abundant.
However, without a membership, you can still have access to some of
the materials and ideas. Yahooligans! is a browsable,
searchable directory of Internet sites for kids. Each site has been carefully checked by an
experienced educator to ensure the content and links are appropriate for kids
aged 7-12. This site also has teacher
guides that are sometimes useful. This site is great for book club
ordering (great book prices!!), lesson plan ideas, classroom management tips,
and to level any books you have according to Fountas and Pinnel DRA Guided
Reading levels. Visit the e-catalog to
do this. This is a great site for both
science and social studies! When
studying a country, students can actually learn about the country on this
site and visit schools, towns, and many other places within the country. When my class studies http://kids.nationalgeographic.com I use this website as an
extension lesson to the monthly National Geographic magazines we read. http://place.scholastic.com/magicschoolbus/index.htm Who doesn’t LOVE the Magic
School Bus?! http://www.storylineonline.net This site shows a celebrity
reading a children’s book aloud, and shows the pictures of the book. The kids actually get to hear and see a
famous celebrity reading a popular children’s book to them. Each book comes with activities and lesson
ideas. This site provides activities
and downloads poetry for students. If
you click on “Shel’s Books”, you can hear Shel read one of his poems or an
excerpt from one of his books. These
are accompanied by very entertaining animation. There is also a link for parents and
teachers. This link provides a
classroom poetry kit, and Runny Babbit kit, as well as an alphabetized list
of poems. This is a great website for teachers
and students where there is information about favorite children’s books and
authors. This site will provide
students with information they need to choose books that they would find
interesting and motivating. It
provides book reviews and excerpts on hundreds of titles. Searches can be done alphabetically by
title or author. Clicking on the
“features” button brings you a list of “Cool New Books”. The “features” button also gives
information about current events, movies and more. The website has numerous word scramble and
trivia games that are tied to popular books and series, as well as
contests. These can be used to support
teaching in the classroom and make reading fun. This website is easy to navigate- a must
see! Computing Technology for Math
Excellence is devoted to resources for teaching and learning mathematics
(K-12 and calculus) and the standards movement in education. Very comprehensive math site!! http://wps.ablongman.com/ab_vandewalle_math_6/0,12312,3547873--t,00.html Welcome to the companion website
for Elementary and Middle School Mathematics, 6th Edition by John
A. Van de Walle. This site is very
useful because the authors have put together a lot of resources in a very
organized format. To begin, click on a
chapter of interest or use the search feature on the top right of the
page. Once you have chosen a chapter,
you can click on any of these sections, which are available for each chapter:
Summary of key ideas in the selected chapter, web-links, web activities,
expanded lessons, and additional readings. This is a very powerful
website. Teachers can reference lesson
plans, virtual manipulatives, and links to other web sites all sorted by math
topic and grade level. http://www.kathimitchell.com/mathfolder/mathpage.htm This is an interesting web site
created by Kathi Mitchell. She has
created some nice resources based on the activities of John Van de
Walle. http://www.center.k12.mo.us/edtech/everydaymath.htm This is a well-organized web
page organized by the Everyday Math curriculum. It has some general tools and a page for
each grade level. If you scroll to the
bottom of the page you will find other links that might be of interest such
as eMints (large data base of lessons sorted by themes), Smart Board lessons
and ideas, and Tech Help (a series of tutorials about various types of
software such as Excel and building web pages). |
