Click on the title to go to the website.

Classroom Freebies
This is a blog website where teachers who are willing to share their great ideas for free is centralized.  All teachers K-12 can find great resources, and the posts are  labeled according to the relevant grade levels, which makes it easy to search. 


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."

PDF Search Engine  This is a brilliant tool that allows you to locate premade handouts and worksheets in no time.  Simply type in the topic and a list of .pdf printable documents will be available.

PBS Teachers – 
At PBS Teachers you can find videos from NOVA and the American Experience and interactive sites for elementary reading and math.
