Starfall is a great place for emerging readers to start.
Zac Browser is amazing. It is a web browser that was developed with autistic children in mind, but it gives all children a safe place to browse the internet.
The Ultimate List of Online Music Activties is a large list of music enrichment things to access.
Have you ever had your child ask you about something and they want to learn more? "Mom, what is paper made of?" and your simple answer of trees is just not good enough...This is a list of Unit studies that will make answering those questions a bit easier.
And if unit studies are not your thing, Teacher Tube has videos.
And if you don't want videos, a virtual field trip might be the answer.
OR you might want an app to enhance your stuff. I personally LOVE my iPad for that. There are so many interesting apps you can download, even for free!
Sometimes you need to help with handwriting. This cool tool lets you type in word and choose the way you want it to work. It then generates a sheet for your child to trace.
If you have a high schooler (and *gasp* that is me as my son is doing Grades 8 and 9 this year...Where did my baby go??!) there might be some extra reading you want them to do. This list is an excellent resource.
Pinterest is taking the teacher world, and pretty much every world, by storm. I have boards on pretty much everything. (Please follow me...I would love to connect there as well, or if you need an invite, let me know and I will pass one on.) Here is an idea I am going to adapt for lots of things. I can do this for meal planning, farm planning, garden planning, school planning and so much more! What a great idea.
I would love to know your favorite places/links to visit for school helps. Pass them on in the comments or feel free to email me! I hope that back to school is less stressful, and more exciting this year than any year previous!
Cheers
