Hello All,
I have decided to start a blog. I thought this would be a great way to share what I learn in my classes with all of my fabulous colleagues. Please check out my blog, tell me what you think, or what you want to learn more about. This is for YOU! Each week I hope to share something new in the world of education with a focus on literacy and reading education, which is not just for reading teachers!
This week I have 2 websites I want to share with everyone. I have found some websites that have been very useful to me. http://www.readwritethink.org/ This website is great for teachers and students. It offers teachers lesson plans and resources. There are also great kid activities for poetry, phonemic awareness, interactive games, and so much more. I used the lesson on how to write a class newspaper. It was very helpful and my kids loved it! Our first class newspaper went home to parents on Thanksgiving. It was written and published by my second graders with a little help from me. They picked out the pictures and the article topics. If I can figure it out, I will post their newsletter to my blog!
Another great website is educationworld.com This websites is for teachers and administrators. Again it offers lesson plan ideas, but it has 6 sections that are very helpful and informative; lesson planning, professional development, administrators, tech integration, school issues and market place. I am linking several articles about testing. I know we all dread that time of the year, but these articles let us know we are not alone and they offer some things we can do to make it more fun and useful for everyone. Happy reading! http://www.educationworld.com/a_admin/focus/testing.shtml
