Renee, This site seems to have lots of resources. I am looking for sites that my students can use independently. Since it goes from k-5, I can also find just the right level for everyone.
Diane, I was looking for this site just last night! This is a great resource for my reading and writing workshop lessons. This will make it much easier!
notecards and games to practice vocab - this is the site I was talking about the other day - I use it for all of my notecards - kids can download the site and I give them extra credit points on their quizzes if they take a screen shot of their progress on their iPhones (or other pieces of tech.).
I am using the board builder tool on this site to build lessons for students to work independently as well as to collaborate with colleagues to build units - great resource
I use Discovery Education to kick off new units especially for sixth grade Science. There are a lot of useful videos to start a unit. I have created folders with kick off videos I use for the 3 Science units in grade 6.
