This site is amazing! I have used the lapbooks, rotation stations, Cinderella Around the World, parent trifold and much more. The teacher that created it is Joanne Griffin. She is a veteran teacher and is retiring this year. She is debating whether to keep her site up and running right now. Please check it out and email her. I would hate to see this awesome resource gone! She is very willing to help out if you need anything also. Just drop her an email.

Scrapblog
I love the website www.scrapblog.com It's not educational but you can do a lot of fun things on it and some items are free to use. This would be a cute way to do projects for parents etc. Try it for your self if you have time. I am not ready to invite people to view all of my pages and I don't think I can show just one! Sorry.

Greener Classroom
http://www.teachervision.fen.com/environmental-education/teaching-methods/63270.html?imode=1:1623
I had high hopes for this site. The first three lessons I looked at were really good. If only my printer had been working... Anyways, the lesson spanned across all grade levels and subject areas. The main topic was obviously becoming a "greener" classroom by teaching how to be "green" at home.
The first lesson I looked at talked about using the Dr. Seuss book The Lorax and having students journal about the resources that were used and that could have been saved. It incorperated science, social studies and language arts. I liked it because Dr. Seuss is a familiar person to the children and it was a new way to look at one of his books.
The second lesson I looked at was a chart of the amount of trash and type of trash found at a beach clean up. Students were suppose to find new uses for the trash that was found on the beach. I also though you could have them make a bunch of graphs with the data also. Again, it blended many subject areas together.
The third lesson plan I looked at was all about resources. It talked about consuming, saving and the different types of resources. These ideas are all in the third grade academic standards. Again it spanned across the subject areas. It included a lot of worksheets as well as hands on activities.
When I clicked on the fourth lesson plan, I was denied. You have to have a subscription, (50 bucks) to look at anymore. I'm sad now because I didn't print out any of these lessons :( They were good. There is a trial subscription, which I may get as soon as my printer is fixed!
