faceinhole.com is a fun site with famous pictures of celebrities, movie scenes, music album covers, magazine covers, and more. Each picture has a hole where a face belongs. You can upload a digital photo of yourself and crop it to fit in the hole you chose. You can also post your creation to a blog. These can be done for fun or you can have students create one and tie it into subject matter. For example, they could create a picture of themselves and then use that picture and setting to write a story, using the particular writing elements in your classroom.

This interactive website teaches students how the Pilgrims lived to celebrate The First Thanksgiving. It gives a real life look at the Mayflower and what life was like aboard the ship (far from a cruise ship), what life was like once the Pilgrims arrived in America, and how the Indians helped the Pilgrims survive. This has great information and activities. I use it every year in my classroom. It has different grade levels of information (PK-12).
