Teacher Tool Box!

As I said from my last post I have a "teacher tool box" which really consists of a folder on my computer and a huge file folder at home that holds a lot of the great teacher resources, ideas, inspiration and activites that I have been able to collect during  the last year or so. One thing I have learned is that in the field of education we must all work together to provide the best possible environment for our students so that they may thrive as learners and succeed inside and outside of the classroom! Also, as an educator I believe that in order to succeed as a teacher I too must also surround myself with the tools and resources necessary and continually push myself to learn new things about teaching! With that said here are a few great sites that I love to browse and take inspiration from to store in my teachers tool box!

A to Z Teacher stuff is a great resource for worksheets, lesson plans and a wonderful supportive community of teachers in all areas and levels of education.

WRSD is a great site focused on readers workshops for grade levels K-5

http://www.criticalpast.com/

Critical Past is a great resource for Social Studies research and lessons!

Rethinking Schools is a great site dedicated to teaching Social Justice Awareness in the classroom. I also subscribe to their magazine and highly reccomend looking into their site, and publications!

These are only a FEW of the many sites available to educators! I hope to update often about all of the great resources out there and look forward to finding great inspiration to share!
