Our newest Unit is all about working together on a team. As I asked my students what types of careers require a lot of teamwork, one of my students raised her hand and said "teachers!"
I think a big misconception is that just because we all work in our own individual classrooms, we do everything individually and on our own.
FALSE.
I would be nowhere without my team.
Not only do I work with the 4 loveliest ladies ever, but vertically--with teachers from other grade-levels, and through the cyber world! The internet is one of the greatest teaching resources.
Here are some websites that I tend to frequent for the best resources.
1. Pinterest, obviously...
Here are the links to some of my boards that feature teaching pins.
I also utilize the search bar like crazy! If I'm teaching three-digit subtraction, for example, I'll just type it in and search for cute ideas and links.
2. Teacherspayteachers.com
OH MY WORD. What a lifesaver! I tend to browse their free section, because there are so many resources. However, I can never complain about spending the occasion $3-5 on mini-lesson packs or extra practice worksheets. I love this website for things like morning work, challenge packets, or additional work to go home in homework folders. I also shelled out a few bucks at the beginning of the year for binder covers & spine labels, to help keep myself organized! Here is the link to my favorite purchase.
3. Superteacherworksheets.com
One of my teammates recently introduced me to this website. It has worksheets on nearly every subject imaginable. I know worksheets aren't best practice, BUT they're great for morning work or extra practice.
Unfortunately, you do have to have an account to use it, but I'd say it's worth it!
What type of teaching resources do you use?
Happy Monday,
Ms. L
