Useful Teacher Websites:
Great Site For: Parent/Teacher
Communication and Involvement and Everyday Lesson Plans, Books About Teaching
Mrs. Nelson’s website has a great page for parents. She even
includes a classroom handbook that helps to answer many questions parents
typically have about Kindergarten. She also includes a short bio that includes
her philosophy on teaching. I think this is a great idea for fellow teachers to
include on their websites. Mrs. Nelson’s website also has a section for educators.
There are great links to help teachers with classroom management, centers,
units and activities, classroom behavior and curriculum, family involvement and
so much more! She also provides some personal book choices for classroom
management, curriculum, and behavior. Another great section on her site is the
part where she connects other teacher to an opportunity to create their own
website.
Great Site For:
Discipline, Classroom Management, Lesson Ideas, and Printables
It’s hard to pin point just one great aspect of this
website. The website has so many areas for teachers to explore. Some of my
favorites are the classroom management page, the file and documents section,
and the teacher resource tab. In the classroom management folder the teacher
has some great ideas as far as class discipline goes. She uses the GOLD
standard, this is a fun and effective method for keeping students on track in
regards to classroom behavior. The file and documents section houses some great
ideas for the basic sections of learning. For example math, science, social
studies, art, holidays, etc. The teacher resource tab has tons of links for
teacher. All kinds – anything from resources, printables, shopping websites for
classroom goodies!
Great Site For:
Organization, Technology, Center Set Up, Classroom Rules, and Schedules.
Any new teacher would love this website. Looking for
assessment forms, ways to organize your classroom and documents using technology
tools? Then you’ve come to the right site! This site is dedicated to aiding
preschool teachers with the day to day tasks. The website also offers so many
resources for teachers. I absolutely love this website. You could spend the
whole day exploring it. The website also includes tips for centers, ideas for
preparing for the first day of school, ways to communicate with parents and
much more. If you’re looking for free printables and curriculum ideas you won’t
be disappointed. They include ideas for math, literacy, science, art and fine
motor.
Great Site For: English
Language Learners, Multicultural Classroom, Assessment, Parent/Teacher
Involvement and Communication and Workshops
Another great site! This site has a little of everything. If
you have students in your classroom who are just learning the English language
this site has some great resources and suggestions for you. There is a section
about the importance of music for early childhood students. Not many other
sites give such great support to music. The website provides great recommendations
for materials to purchase for your classroom for all the themes you could think
of. No more spending hours searching for resources this website has it already
for you. Another great aspect of this website is the workshop section. She
provides teacher with opportunities to sign up for one of her workshops. There
are many topics to chose from and she will travel to a variety of states.
Aliesha,
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about PreKinders is that it has a variety of resources for Pre-K teachers. It gives the teachers a lot of good ideas and activities to implement in their classroom that will enhance students learning and skills. I also like the idea of the prop box and the Christian resource with activities and ideas for young children. I will be definitely using some of these ideas and activities in my classroom.
Aliesha, I really enjoyed looking at the website of Ms.Winston. I fell in love with her STAR Binders. I feel that it teaches the students responsibility and helps to keep communication open with the parents on a daily basis. Once the communication is open then any concerns that I might have as a teacher about the child's development will be so much easier to introuce to the parent. I am going to use some of her ideas in my classroom as well, I will have to change it a little becasue I have preschool age children but I still love the concept. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi, Aliesha, I also like this one I think it is very important for teachers and parents to have good communication between them. I would use ideas from this one thanks.
