This is a wonderfully simple and clearly designed website for teachers. The ideas will help any teacher organize areas in the classroom. Being able to find materials and activities quickly helps the classroom run smoothly. Organizing the classroom not only helps the students, but the teacher too. The best part about the website is the ideas are homemade and easy to follow, even the creative or artistically challenge individual can accomplish organization bliss.

Classroom Activities


I love this website! I would have this website displayed and available to my students for free play and or to use during instruction. The website is easy for students to navigate on their own. There are many activities, printables, videos, and a store app. The grade levels range from Pre-school to 6th grade and can be used in many classrooms; for special needs, home school, and learning styles. Check it out and tell me what you think? What is your favorite activity?

Classroom Sturcture

Structure will effect a students Success

Teacher Resource is a website that provides an idea on how to promote academic success in a classroom through a well developed structure. It discusses an articles ideas on how to develop a positive structure for the classroom. It describes structure as the rules, principles, and goals you have for your classroom. The example given is " allow student's mistakes to be a learning tool instead of a big issue." This is the statement that made me pick this website. I not only agree with this structure idea in a n early childhood classroom, but in life. Everyone will make mistakes, but it is up to the individual to learn from them. We as early educators need to teach our students how to learn from their mistakes.

The website is designed with adorable graphics and easy navigation. It is loaded with information on classroom management and provides an organized abundance of resources. The print-ables are easily search-able and can be personalized. Calenders, charts and notebooks are presented by year, month and content. I found this website very useful and one to remember. Thank you busyteachercafe!

Lets begin with a laugh...

It is not all Flowers and Sausages


This is a fellow teachers blog and was the first thing I came across in my search for the best teacher websites to include in my list for our blog assignment. Although it is not in the criteria of our assignment I thought we all could benefit from a good laugh (because I sure did and i love to share my experiences especially if it has something to do with a good laugh) Mrs. Mimi and has a sympathetic funny approach to the many challenges we may face in our classroom. Her ideas, point of view and silly way of venting her challenges that are approachable and familiar to individuals. Thank you Mrs. Mimi for your insight and candor.
