Scholastic Tools

Starting today, I will be adding some new ideas into my blog that others can begin to use in your classroom.

The first one I thought I would share is all of the great resources one can find on www.scholastic.com. When you log onto the Scholastic website, you will want to click on the teacher tab located on the top left of the screen.

Here you will find many resources to suite all grade levels. Among the resources you will find include the following:

·         Lesson plan ideas

·         SMARTboard resources

·         Daily Starters for each day of the week

·         eBooks (which are iPad and iPod compatible in the app store now!)

·         Story starters

·         Printables

·         Freebies

….the lists goes on….

 A favorite for my second and third graders is Comuter Lab Favorites Under student activities is a link called Computer Lab Favorites. The grade levels can be changed to focus on grades K-2 and 3-5.  It is definitely worth checking out! Students spin the wheel and it chooses an activity for them or, they may choose to click on activity themselves. The subject areas are Spanish, math, language arts, science, and social studies. Here is the link: Computer Lab Favorites

Enjoy!!
