Video Playlist About Space

This video playlist I created using Youtube was made to inform the students about space, and various aspects of it. I have included a video of a rocket and shuttle lifting off into space. I also included a video of images that were taken by the hubble space telescope to show the students a small portion of our little subdivision of the endless outerspace. The other video is a video that shows images and random facts about space that are interesting and unbelievable. I hope you enjoy this video playlist. I would like you to answer the following questions about the video playlist:
1. What are three facts that you found interesting and why?
2. Draw a picture of an image that you thought was fascinating.
3. What would you like to know more about as we start this unit?

Educational Resources- Websites

This is a list of websites that I have put together to help current teachers and future teachers find useful resources online. These websites include things such as worksheets that you can create and print out, coloring sheets, puzzles you can create, online exhibits that can be useful while covering a unit on history or animals, student safe search engines, and numerous other useful resources! These are just few of the many online resources for teachers. Whether you need to read a textbook online, or get a quick lesson plan, websites are there for teachers to use whenever they need to! Enjoy!

Miss Jones' Reading List

The following list of articles is full of helpful information for both parents and teachers. There is an article about how students in the elementary classroom are getting involoved in real world issues, such as the effort to help the people in Japan after their earthquake and tsunami. It is a hopeful and refreshing article that can inspire teachers to get their class involved in current global issues. I have two articles on the brain and how the brain works with senses and also anxiety, two different ideas, but both very interesting and full of useful information. The other post is an article about a program that can help a teacher track students' progress in an easy and effective way. It is a program based mostly on learning English, whether your student is an English Language Learner (ELL), or a student struggling with reading and writing, the program is beneficial to anyone that needs help learning English. All of these articles are helpful, and full of great information. Enjoy!
