This is one of the most active sites I have checked out. I think it has a little bit of everything for everyone. It has information on just about any topic one would want to check out. It has beginning of the year activities. It has helpful worksheets and ideas for things from social studies to English to science. It is a great site to check out. If it has an activity for one grade there is probably a way to adapt to another or from topic to topic as well.
