Educational Websites




Teaching Resources:

TeacherTube:   This website is similar to youtube, but it is full of educational videos that teachers can utilize during their lessons. There are also photos, audio clips, and a place to talk with other teachers.

Weebly This website allows you to set up a classroom website. Here you can post different things that parents may need to see or access. 

Edmondo is another website that allows teachers to have a 'online classroom'. This website is set up similar to Facebook. The class is able to communicate, post questions and photos. This website also allows students to track their grades, which is important. Most students want to know how they're doing and a majority of students these days know how to operate Facebook. 

Education World Education World is an online resource for teachers to get worksheets, handouts, tools and templates to use on different subjects in their classroom. I think it is important to have a good reliable resource to go to for help or ideas.  



Fitness in the Classroom:
Adventure to Fitness Adventure to Fitness is a interactive website that teachers can utilize to get their students moving. This would be a great tool to use during inside recess so that students are still getting in some activity. Also if you notice you're losing your students, you can use this website as a brain break. This website also has different sections such as coloring, word games, and number fun.



All Subjects:

Brain Pop Brain Pop is an animated educational site for children. This site has content in all subject areas which will allow students to practice their current knowledge or enhance new learning.

Kids Know it  Kids Know it is a educational resource for children. They're able to watch educational movies, listen to educational music, play games, and print posters.

Fun Brain Fun Brain is a website that has a reading section, an arcade, and a playground. Students will be able to read books, comics, and mad libs. There is also a math section where students can brush up on their math skills. There are sections for students, teachers, and parents.

ABC Mouse  ABC Mouse is a website for mostly pre-k and kindergarten students. Although, first graders could probably still use this website to practice their skills. There are  reading, math, coloring, and music sections on this website. It helps kids learn phonics, play games and practice reading.


Language Arts:
Big Universe:    Big Universe is a website that allows students to create and write their own picture books. They also publish them on the website and are able to read other students work. This website would be useful because some students do not like to draw so they can utilize the computer to help them design. 

Mrs. Perkins Site Words Here is a website that lists sight words starting from Kindergarten and up. It is a good reference for a teacher or a parent. 

Raz Kids Raz Kids is a website that has online books that you're able to set up an account for your entire classroom. It will allow the students to read at their own pace and level. This site is not a free site.
