This site has the math vocabulary for math that is in the NeSA Math test in April. You need to give 3 to 6 words a week. Have students write the definitions and an example for each word.

This is a site with a terrific game about the travels of Lewis and Clark. When moving through each state, one must play a game to continue traveling. Not only is it fun, but there is a wealth of information given along the way. I will share this with the 4th grade teachers in my school.

This site is a trivia game which will also use research skills. If questions aren't answered correctly an address is given to connect with a page from the Smithsonian Institute. The answer can be found somewhere on that page. I think 5th graders would love the challenges presented and glean numerous interesting facts from the information presented.

This is a great site for upper elementary through high school. There are numerous learning experiences from exploring a town which has been cleaned up, to learning to help the city budget enough to follow through with their plans of cleaning up the environment. There are activity areas as well as teacher information sections. I will be sharing this with the middle school science teachers I know.

I was first attracted to this site because of the interactive game regarding healthy food choices. But there is so much more here such as a menu planner, a food pyramid tracker, podcasts for making healthy changes in diet, coloring sheets, worksheets, and other printed materials. I think any health teacher would love this site.

Matches second grade curriculum in LPS - targets are pretty particular, but you do have a chance to revisit choices. Might consider having kids work in pairs.

Food Pyramid - Lincoln Public teachers - this fits with second grade health objectives.

I liked the educational direction this site provides for teachers. Besides the documents, this site provides lessons using the primary documents, and training on best practices for their use.

This interesting site offering many documents regarding World War I. Official papers are included but there are also diaries and memorials of every day people. In addition, the site links to other helpful World War I sites.

This is one example of a lesson created using primary source docs and the organizational tools provided by docsteach. It was accessed from the National Archives website as a means to organize the data gathered there. I would use this idea as a springboard for fourth grade westward expansion activities.

On a note of local interest for all OPS teachers, the Media Technology Center Library and the Joslyn Art Museum have worked together to provide classroom access to these historical, informational traveling exhibits. From Douglas County History to Native American History, call 557-2500 and have the trunks delivered to your classrooms to use for two full weeks. I work in this department one day a week -- and was totally thrilled to be introduced to these marvelous sets of get-your-hands-on primary sources. They can be used in primary grades through high school.

An incredible number of primary sources can be found on this site regarding our first president. I was impressed with the "Educational Resources" that take some primary sources and scaffold teachers' use of them with students in grades 3-5 and middle/high school.
