I think the Social Studies site sounds great! We need more ways to incorporate SS and fun ideas into the curriculum!
ST Math is fabulous! We have the whole program at my school for the second through fifth grade children. We have a very strong group of proficient and advanced students on the STAR assesment. I signed up for a couple of social science activities. I am going to receive Pennies for thE planet.
I think the social studies site looks good. I also like the health site. Susan
Love the visual approach to teaching math…we like to try all combinations of things in our inclusion classroom!
I think the social studies link looks great but I am checking them all out! Thanks for sharing!!!
I am going to check out pennies for the planet. The watermelon site is great. I picked up lots of great idea’s there.
RBI! I find it so hard to teach the difference of fact and fiction, this would be awesome!
ST Math and Story Squares sound Great! I hope I win!
It’s hard to decide between Social Studies and Pennies for the Planet but I think I’ss go with Pennies for the Planet. My students love animals and learning about them. It would be great to teach them that they can play a small role in helping protect them.
We’d LOVE Pennies for the Planet..or Story Squares! Both would be so beneficial to our curriculum areas of Science and Language Arts. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed!!
ST Math sounds great for students who have difficulty with math.
Looking forward to sharing these resources with the teachers in my school. I love finding things to share
Look good can’t wait to use them
I like the penninies for the planet & nutrition ideas!
Love the Ripley’s- thought I’d never print another coloring page, but I know better now! ST Math games looks great too, especially since I have so many visual learners. Next stop, GoFarmersEd.com!
I really like the Math one. They all look good and I will take more time to look at them. thanks
