    This site from the Missouri Botanical Gardens provided a wealth of information about 12 of the biomes. There were many layers for the study of each of the particular biomes. In addition, there were links to further information about the study of plants.

International Children's Digital Library - 1 views

  •  
    This is the best online library I've come across. There are complete books online from 25 countries, in addition to the United States. Many of the books are in the original language, which would help tremendously if you had students who didn't speak English.

Children's Storybooks Online - 1 views

  •  
    If you wanted to use a specific book in your classroom, but didn't have enough copies, this site could really help. It contains many complete children's books--both text and illustrations for younger children, older children, and young adults. In addition, there are activities in which students could engage.

Building Language for Literacy - 2 views

  •  
    This site, created by Scholastic, is jammed with activities for students and teachers. I personally like the authors and illustrators page, on which students can view videos about authors, and participate in writing workshops where authors give students tips on how to improve their writing in a specific genre.

Reading Rockets: Classroom Strategies - 1 views

  •  
    If you are looking for reading strategies for elementary students, this site is wonderful. There are strategies for each of the components of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) as well as writing. For each strategy, there is also a chart that recommends whether to implement the strategy before, during, and/or after reading.

New Horizons for Learning - 0 views

  •  
    While some are concerned that technology will do more harm than good, this site contains articles about using technology to solve complex problems. Without technology, these kinds of activities would be impossible for students to perform.
