Reading and Math!

Storyline Online


I briefly mentioned this when we had our assignment with the QR barcode. Storyline Online is an online streaming video program.  The very cool thing about it is that SAG members read the children's stories aloud.  Often, the students will recognize the members (famous actors/actresses) and become that much more engaged in the story.  They have about 25 stories to choose from, but they are constantly being updated and stories are switched.  I have used this for indoor recess and also for parts of the reading curriculum, like when students must identify the characters, setting, plots, events, etc.  




Illuminations


Illuminations is a math resource for K-12 students and teachers.  It is FULL of amazing stuff- like lessons, activities, and standards.  Illuminations make it very easy to search for specific topics and broader ones as well.  They have lessons and activities broken down from K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and then 9-12.  




ReadWriteThink


Another amazing resource for K-12 students, teachers, and parents but this site is for reading, writing and all of the in-betweens.  You can search for lesson plans, student interactives, calendar activities, and more all by grade level.  They also have many resources available for professional development as well as parent and after-school resources.
