Here's a great resouce if you are using primary documents: [] You can find primary documents, plans and tips on using the documents. Hope this is helpful, Cynthia

I use the units created by [|www.edhelper.com] to accompany novels in my class. They offer chapter quizzes that are already made as well as synonyms, antonyms , affixes, and many more pages. I use these pages to reinforce concepts in the unit. The site also has worksheets, coloring sheets, and games you can create and play with your class.

I hope you enjoy this site, Katie

A website that I like to use for graphic organizers is [|http://www.teach-nology.com]. The site contains several graphic organizers, lesson plans, and rubrics that teachers can modify to meet the needs of the students. I also like to use [] to create rubrics for speeches, projects, and compositions. The site contains rubrics that are already made, while allowing teachers the options of making their own.

I hope you find the sites beneficial!

//Teacher Tap: Evidence Based Practices and Educational Technology// This is a great site I found when looking for research on technology. Not only does it provide links to on-line journals related to technology, but it also gives links to journals and references to research-based instructional practices on all subjects. http://eduscapes.com/tap/evidence.html

I recently joined edhelper.com. Title I has Kindergarten class and it really helps me out with new ideas. Terri Houck

You probably already know about this site, but just in case you don't, the Florida Center for Research in Reading, [|www.fcrr.org] is the greatest site if you need activities for anything you might be trying to teach--phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, or vocabulary, at all the elementary grade levels. I love this site. Our county even held a 3 hour workshop class which met every Wednesday night for a semester just to make games and activities. Many of the downloads were from the Florida Center.
