Can’t Live Without – Linky Party & a sale!

May 26, 2012

I’m joining up with Kelley at Teacher Idea Factory to let you know my top 5 resources I can’t live without!

#1: Teachers Pay Teachers: I know it seems obvious but it is so true…

I find everything here…whether it is a great freebie or an adorable, creative unit I spent money on.. I use this site EVERY week!

#2: Ticket to Read: I am lucky enough to work at a school whose PTO pays for this awesome resource. Our students use this both in school and at home. We have Ticket to Read contests and everything! My kids love, love, love it!

#3: Brain Pop Jr.: I pay for this one myself :/ but I think it is so worth it. My kids love the videos and activities. I also find that since I have such little time to teach Science that I can show the videos earlier in the day as a little teaser for the experiment that will come later!

#4: Spelling City: so easy, so FREE! I upload my weekly spelling lists each week and the students practice their spelling words with all sorts of games online! My students’ parents love this site too 🙂

#5: Sum Dog: again… easy and free! You can upload your class onto this site and your students can play tons of fun math games. This site has games for all sorts of math skills from number recognition to division and algebra. My kids love it and they play it during their computer center.

Those are my top 5!!
