Teachers and Homeschoolers Excellent Online Resource

This time Mr. Lester has created a livebinder for teachers. It is hard to find good quality content on the web for educators and Mr. Lester stumbled upon a bunch of resources from the Tar River Writing Project at East Carolina University.

This is a great list of search sites for teachers and homeschoolers for recommended online material that is useful and engaging for the kids. The sites are free to use with some requiring registration. They are worth checking out.

4th and 5th grade classroom review

I'm following up on my last blog with the 4th and 5th grade summer review binders that Mr. Lester put together for his students. I can't say enough about them. They are a great collection of websites on math, language arts, history, reading and science subjects - selected for each appropriate grade. If you would like your son or daughter to review this summer, these livebinders are a great start. Many of the links have activities that are online and some will allow you to print worksheets for your kids to work on.

Just click on the links below to launch the livebinders.
