Primary Possibilities

This excellent blog has tons of resources, including letters to parents, forms, worksheets, links and more! I would suggest following it by email or twitter or whatever format works for you so you don't miss a single great idea.

Here is just ONE  of the ideas I have gotten from Stephanie at Primary Possibilities. It shows the steps to LOCK AN APP on your iPad so you don't have to worry about students "browsing" to other apps or websites.

Wonderopolis

"Wonder is for everyone. It can happen anywhere and at anytime. Connecting the learning we do in our schools, our homes, and our communities, Wonderopolis walks the line between formal and informal education. Each day, we pose an intriguing question and explore it in a variety of ways. Our approach both informs and encourages new questions, sparking new paths of wonder and discovery in family and classroom settings."
