Comments4Kids is a way for students and teachers to find blogs to comment on and to get their own posts commented on.

Awesome list of Web 2.0 tools - list of tools that can be used and notes on each one that allow teacher to see uses in the classroom. Great list to reference

I created this Prezi to introduce to the students our study of famous people and places studied in grade three. Students will be introduced to the people/places, then will need to chose one to research. Students will present to the class one of these topics (or another approved person/place) through a prezi, powerpoint, or glogster.

Awesome site for Blogging - things to remember when teaching students how to respond. There is even a pdf file available that the teacher has created. On this paper, students are given sample blog responses and discuss whole class whether they would approve the comment.

I wish I would have seen this post yesterday. I had to reteach blogging to our book club group. Mainly, I feel the time constraint/computer issues we had the first two weeks set us back. However, I did something similar to this actually handwriting responses on the white board. The number of posts and details within the post increased dramatically.

School House Rock Video on Subject and Predicate

Students can predict and/or report the weather on this interactive site.

Two minute video clip on life cycle of a pumpkin (life cycle of apple tree, pollination, conifers, etc. also mentioned in other segments). United Streaming access granted through Library.

Students fill in even numbers on a number grid. I am using this with my low math group.

Money Word extension - this is similar to the other one I posted, only in this game, students make up words and determine their money value. Extension.

Counting Money - up to $4. I like this organizer because it includes dollars and cents to be added up together. PA Standard: Students should be able to count a given amount of change up to $5.

I have, Who Has? Students are each given a card with an amount of money displayed. Students count the money on their card and then a kind of "around the world" is played. I like to time my students (the first time is painful) - students keep the same cards and play again. I've used this game in many different ways (multiplication, base-10 blocks, etc)

A mini lesson on cause and effect

Math Facts: Play against one another

capture video and audio on your screen, review lessons, show step by step instructions

Click on each link to see examples of (triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, circles, etc).

Video on Patterns

A picture of a tree is given with each of the three branches of government. The player must place descriptive leaves on each branch of the tree. Leaf description example: Members of this branch are elected for two or six year terms.

Another comic creation tool

I used this video along with the Reading Group book, A Lion and a Roar (focus on main idea and detail). After reading the book, and discussing the details, the students were very interesting in seeing an actual lion dance.

I used this in my math class, with students who were struggling to tell time to the minute. I used the "Stop the Clock" 1 minute intervals, but there's lots of good things on this site!
