Title of the Resource: Teacher Resources, Childrens Books, Student Activities for Teachers|Scholastic.com Audience: Teachers, grades Pre K 12 Topic: English/Language Arts Author: None given URL: http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/?esp=CORPHP/ib/////NAV/Teachers/Tab/TeachersHP/// Brief paragraph about what the resource is: Scholastic Teachers Resources is a website created for educators to gain ideas to implement in their classrooms in an English/Language Arts subject area. There are activities and lessons for grades ranging from Pre K up to 12 th grade. Some of these lessons are paired with books (which can be ordered from the Scholastic website), and some are independent of outside resources. There are several activities available for use with a SMART or Interactive Whiteboard. How can this resource be used? This is a great classroom resource. There are so many awesome activities that, in my experience, students love. I have used this website with both Kindergarteners and Pre K students, and all the activities I had them do were a great success. Both boys were very excited to identify the beginning letters of words and find rhyming words as well. Children love using technology and SMART boards, especially, to learn. If I can get my students excited to learn, I see that resource as exceptionally useful.

How can this resource be used? I would use this resource to help my kids work out their jitters and excitement as the day goes on. Children cannot take more than 3-7 pieces of information at a time so it is important to break up the information being taught in a classroom. GoNoodle does just that.
