Classroom/Teacher Websites

Here are some great websites that I thought was great as well as helpful for ALL educators teaching Early Childhood Education, Elementary Educations, etc... Enjoy!

Top of the Class

This is a great site I use to use as a teacher.  This site is like a new place for teacher to learn, meet and experience all about teaching, classroom activities, curriculum and behavioral problems to name a few.  This website provides the teacher with different options to explore and learn from other fellow teachers, which is great because we are able to see the different strategies being used as well as how creativity is used in the classroom. 

• Helpful website for teachers to use to get ideas of different activities and curriculum to use in the classroom.
• A great way for all teachers to meet-up with each other (on the website) and share ideas
• A great way to see other teachers and classrooms curriculum and share strategies

Teaching Heart's Learning Centers Page

I found this site in our Module 6 readings.  After investigating this site I thought it would be great to use because it helps teachers create different learning centers in their classrooms.  As an educator myself being able to create different learning centers for my students to learn, work together as well as explore in is a great way for their learning experience.

• Great for providing different examples on how to set up a learning center for any age group
• Great website for teachers to use to get an inside look of a teachers classroom, curriculum and daily routine
• Helpful tips on classroom management
• Helpful links provided by teachers on where to get useful resources and learning materials

ChildFun

This site is for teachers, educators, providers as well as parents to teach their children/ students when it comes to exploring.  Just by looking at the different titles within this site you can see that there is plenty of information on curriculum building, games, arts and crafts, as well as different themes to meet the needs of any child whether at school or at home. 

• A great community to use for in the classroom and at home
• Great tool for different themes such as (Valentine' Day, Halloween, 4th of July), etc
• A forum for parents and teachers to share ideas
• A great way to make learning fun
