Source 4: This is a great online resource for kids, teachers, and parents. This site has awesome games for kids to use that helps them practice their skills in math, reading, science, and social studies. I love having my students play interactive games to practice and apply what they have learned rather then just having them do a worksheet. This site also has a section that offers resources for both teachers and parents. I think that it is very important for the parents to also be involved and the fact that it is free makes it even better! Very easy to access and use. 

Source 3: I love using brain pop jr. in the classroom! They have great videos about a variety of different subjects. The kids also love watching the movies and taking the quizzes. Very fun and interactive resource! There is also brain pop.com which can be used for older grades. I believe that the information that we teach our kids should be presented to them in fun and enjoyable ways and that is what this site does. 

Source 2: This online teaching resource offers a variety of lesson plans, rubrics, and worksheets that work wonderfully in the classroom! 

Source 1: Teachers pay teachers is a great resource that I have used many times! They have great activities that work well in the classroom! This resource is a great way for teachers to share what they have done in the classroom that has worked. It is a great resource to use and try out in your own classroom. Sometimes the lessons will work and sometimes they won't but this site has tons of lessons that you can choose from. Teaching is a collaborative effort and this site definitely reflects that. 

Source 5: I love this idea for my classroom library! I love to stay organized and this is a really fun way to keep all your classroom library books in check! I think it will also be fun for the kids, and get them excited about checking out books not only from the schools library, but your library as well, because it’s a different way that they probably have used before in their classrooms! It’s also a good way to hold your students accountable for the books they check out from your library!

Source 4: We are probably all a little nervous about how to plan our reading workshop, but this is a great resource I found to help easy to anxiety! Reading workshop is such an important part of our day as teachers and getting help with planning it out, especially the first couple weeks will benefit not only us, but our students.

Source 3: We talked about reading logs this semester, and some liked them and some disliked them. In my internship, we use them and the kids see them as a hassle, so I found this example of a log, but I think it's a way to change it up and make them a little more interesting. You are still holding your students accountable for their reading, but they aren't just writing the same thing every day after they read. I think something like this would be more effective!

Source 2: I like this idea of having an anchor chart to display some form of think marks that you’d like your students to use when they read. We talked a lot about using sticky notes last semester in 430, and I believe these think marks are an easy way to get your students thinking about their reading, holding them accountable.
