Free worksheets on a variety of topic for language arts (reading and writing, grammar, spelling phonics, handwriting) as well as math, science and social studies. There are also brain teasers and teacher helper tools such as award certificates, teaching tips, etc. In addition, there are holiday worksheets. This site would be great for differentiated activities. In a quick preview I saw they had worksheets that were of the same topic areas but they has easy and harder options available. This would be another good site to share with parents.

Cool site for K-6 teachers. Lots of free resources.

this is a social network site for educators where lots of ideas and lessons can be found.

Flickr allows students to take pictures and send them to a private space online. For example: A homework assignment for 4th grade mathematics students requires students to take pictures of different polygons they see in their everyday lives and instantly send them (along with a short text message describing the type of polygon) to a private space online. The next day in class the teacher can open the private space and use it to illustrate polygons and their connection to students' lives, leading to a lesson on how to measure these polygons. Both flickr.com and photobucket.com are sites that would allow this type of sharing. Both have a private mobile address that can be used on any mobile phone; the teacher just needs to set up the mobile account and give the students the address.

National Geographic Kids has a wide variety of games, puzzles, and activities for students of elementary school age. National Geographic Kids has nine games specifically for developing geography skills.
