Similar to edhelper resource that was recently posted (Sorry David) for a second time. Includes a variety of worksheet generators, lesson plans, rubrics, assessments, etc. Certainly worth bookmarking for future reference!

This is a link to two solid documents: Assessment techniques in P.E. and P.E. Curriculum Guidelines.

This website has a small but interesting list of ways to begin questions, categorized by which level of Bloom's taxonomy you are looking to work in. This link takes you immediately to the question starters, but the entire website is worth perusing if you have a moment.

I use this as a lead-in to procedural writing. It is a 'trick' test - if you follow the directions, you don't actually do anything. Students are marked down (the grade doesn't count) for everything that appears on their paper beyond the month. I use it to illustrate the importance of: following directions by carefully reading all the information; and how to look at procedure.

This is a fabulous, in-depth, yet student-accessible primer on grammar. I know, it was created by Canadians, but that's okay. I sometimes use their resources when discussing parts of speech and word interactions in class. Our students are increasingly digital; it helps to speak their language. 

This website has many many pages of interactive activities and lessons. Students can study story elements, idioms, pronunciations, reading, spelling, play games, all sorts of things. When you have a day with a CoW, or a day in a lab, you can have the students pick a lesson from a list, or you can print out a page and use it as a sponge activity.

This is a website that allows you to create worksheets for students. There are a variety of styles (word finds, learn-to-read books, puzzles, etc). It is primarily designed for younger students (K to 8 or so), but can be used for any grade. I use it to create sponge activities that reinforce the content of the lesson plan.

This is a great site for educators! There's a whole section on puzzle making, lesson plans, unit ideas, themes, worksheets, and more! Definitely check it out!

This is a great website, with lots and lots of links to fantastic educational websites all around the world wide web. You click on a topic, and it provides a list of websites that have information about that topic.
