“School’s Out for Summer!” Well almost, I suggest at some
point this summer you take a journey through the TeachingOasis it is a fantastic teacher resource that includes activities and
resources for all of the curricular domains, all developed and created by Jessica Winston-Saunders. It includes readily
accessible, FREE resources and activities for Language Arts, Math, Science, and
Social Studies. In addition the site includes Monthly Ideas. For example, just
last month I printed some May task cards for
a center and for math I printed a fun fractions memory game that I used for my
students during guided math. As you swim through the paradise known as the
Teaching Oasis you will also find a Resource page with “extras” like reading
labels, parent communication logs, classroom awards, and MORE. When you dive
even deeper into the site you can also find Ms.Winston’s Blog. On her blog she shares her long-range plans, upcoming
end of the year activities and MORE. For example, YouBe The Teacher, Student Created Lesson Plans for students to create a
lesson to teach the class. She also includes great links to resources she
personally uses. The Flip Flap Template set
is great to use for Interactive Notebooks.
I give this site 4 Stars. I hope you too can find a useful
way to use this site. Are there others that you can recommend?
