February 2015: Scholastic.com - Top Teaching Blog

Greetings!  This month's website of the month is Scholastic's Top Teaching blog (http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/teaching-ideas) , a blog recommended by our own Mr. Harrises.

As the blog states, it is a place to find "exciting lesson ideas, classroom strategies, book lists, videos, and reproducibles in a daily blog by teachers".   What's nice is that it is searchable, so if you don't have time to browse through all of the many posts, you can search for a specific topic and see if they offer any resources.  Contributor posts from the past few months include ideas for using graphic organizers for opinion writing (including downloadable forms),  "Snowy Science" experiments to try with students, and ideas for enhancing classroom photos using some free online tools.  Take a look and hopefully you will find something useful to use with your classroom!
