I have been a little off this week and did not get a chance to include an entry in this blog on Monday as I usually do. Hopefully those who follow this blog will find today's entry instead!
I recently discovered another wonderful Web site just for teachers. According to their site, Monthly Teacher, they try to find quality materials for teachers including as many free resources as they can. You can sign up for their free newsletter which is delivered the first week of each month highlighting all the resources they have found.
Just to give you a quick idea of what they have spotlighted lately, here are some links to check:
This is the link to their monthly guide for September 2011. It includes free September printable worksheets and lesson plans; important dates to remember in September; printable reading comprehension sheets; puzzles, labels, worksheets and organizers from the Worksheet Library; a centimeter ruler worksheet; and much more!
This link is from the September guide. VocabMaker.com has fixed all sorts of animals puzzles, vocabulary and study sheets which are downloadable for free!
This is another link direct from the September guide. Math Worksheet World is very impressive with their volume and quality of math worksheets. Their site contains lessons, quizzes, home work and independent practice.
This link takes you to some information about the Worksheet Library. They cover a wide range of K-8 content areas and have some of the best graphic organizers available anywhere.
If you are looking for some reading worksheets, try this site. Getworksheets.com is featured on this page which contains grade 1-6 reading comprehension worksheets.
If you go to this site, you will see some Start of School Lesson Plans, some lesson plans specific for September and some lesson plans just for fall/autumn.
This is another link from the September monthly guide which takes you to some printable worksheets for September and for the start of school. One cute worksheet is answering questions about your school, such as how many fire extinguishers are there in the classroom and in case of a fire drill or alarm, where do you go? These types of worksheets could be used as bell ringers or even as end-of-the-class or end-of-the-day questions to discuss when you have a few minutes left and need a "filler".
I do hope you'll find something valuable using the Monthly Teacher. It's free to sign up for their newsletter, so I would encourage you to do that, too, as you're previewing what all they have to offer.
