With the current health situation world wide bringing school closure in some places, some teachers have been advised to come up with plans and ideas students can do at home. I have put together a list of online and printable resources that teachers can share with their students. As language teachers, we all know that these types of resources can't ever replace the value of personal interaction and contact time with students, but in this situation, these resources can certainly come in handy and continue exposure to the language. I included printable resources and recommend teachers to put them together in packets just in case students don't have internet access at home. All of these resources have access to free materials.

Stay healthy,

Virtual field trips allow children to visit places around the world without ever leaving their homes. Through virtual field trips, they can visit other states, countries across the globe, and even other planets. This allows children to experience places they wouldn't get to see otherwise. Virtual field trips are also great for when you can't get out due to illness or can't afford to travel. Here are several free resources your family can use to take virtual field trips.

Understanding how school discipline policies can contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline is essential for educators and families. Harsh punishments, automatic out-of-class time and police involvement for discipline can push young people out of classrooms and into the criminal legal system. But educators, parents and caregivers can help to change this harmful system by advocating for and implementing practices that prioritize mental health and well-being.

We offer this new resource page that highlights LFJ articles and content to open dialogue, shift practices and foster change to benefit all young people.

Ancient History for Kids

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Humans have a long and mysterious history. Many different types of people have worked together to figure out the mysteries of our past. Archeologists study early human history and ancient history by discovering artifacts that give us clues about our past. Historians study primary and secondary resources and connect ideas and make theories. Scientists use experiments to examine artifacts and test historical theories. Students, teachers, and citizens around the world study all the published work of archeologists, historians, and scientists to develop the current theories we have today. Millions of people of all ages have explored the past and tried to make new connections to understand our history. All of this work has put together a more clear idea of our past, but there are still many mysteries left to solve! New artifacts and discoveries are made every year, some of them make huge changes to our knowledge of the past.

Usually, the farther we go back in history the more mysterious the story. Humans lived for hundreds of thousands of years before civilization. Our pre-human ancestors lived for millions before that. Civilization was a new way of life. A civilization is an advanced society with agriculture, division of labor, multiple cities, organized religion, science/technology, some form of government, and a written language.

The achievement of "Civilization" happened at different times in different places around the world. There is not an official date when a group of people become a "civilization", so historians often choose different start dates, but most of them are close. The timeline above show the four earliest places where civilization began. The modern countries of , , India/Pakistan, and became ancient cultural hearths that still influence life peoples' lives today. A cultural hearth is a place where a culture first developed. This website is designed for kids. Ancient history for kids tries to provide a consistent history of early civilizations in basic language for students to understand. Hope you enjoy!

American History For Kids

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From the first Thanksgiving to the first man on the moon, you've come to the right place to learn about American history. We cover the Pilgrims' arrival, the Jamestown settlement, and the Revolutionary War and keep going through the Industrial Revolution, World War I and II and into modern American history.

But that's not all. American history began long before Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain. Researchers believe the first Americans arrived in North America 12,000 to 18,000 years ago! And don't forget the Vikings and other explorers.

History isn't just about dates and facts. History is about stories - about real people and their dreams, challenges, successes, and conflicts. We've included biographies of interesting and influential people, as well as videos, photos, and other important documents. History is all around us.

We believe it's vitally important to understand our country's history and the values of liberty and democracy. We hope you enjoy learning...... Read More

​These phonic games are all FREE to download.
Here is our growing collection of phonic games. We have many more awaiting being digitalised so please do come back and have another look soon. If you like what you see, please tell others about us, but please ask them to download from our website. Please do not share your files, or we will not be able to continue providing free materials for you. Terms and conditions apply.

What makes our games different?
Each game was made in response to a specific need, seen either in a young child, an older child struggling to learn to read, or with an adult learning English as a second language. They have been written during the course of many years teaching children of all ages and adults to read using phonics. The author anticipates the pitfalls, the bits that learners get hung up on and the games help to ease the student over the hurdle onto the next step in their reading progression. They are suitable for use with all phonic programmes, including Letters and Sounds (UK) and Jolly Phonics.
Games allow instant feedback to the teacher and allow for immediate opportunities to remedy mistakes and to provide encouragement, all in a fun relaxed setting where the pupil will not even realise they are learning! In this way they have helped many older reluctant readers especially. They are not babyish and can be adapted with the use of a dice to appeal to all. Games take the drudgery out of learning.
Please click on the pictures.

Virtual Science Labs

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We all know the value of hands-on learning, but sometimes providing science labs and dissections can be challenging, especially for homeschoolers. The equipment and supplies can be expensive or hard to find. Some parents may not feel comfortable conducting labs at home, especially the dissections. While many areas have science labs for homeschoolers, this isn't the case everywhere. If you're having trouble doing science labs in your homeschool, virtual labs and dissections may be a good option for your family. Virtual dissections can also be a good alternative for those who have moral concerns about dissecting animals. Here are several free resources:

Free Virtual Science Labs, Dissections, and Simulations

Bioman - Games and virtual labs for Biology

ChemCollective - Chemistry labs, simulations, and tutorials

General Chemistry - Interactive chemistry simulations

Learn Genetics - Tons of multimedia activities and science labs centered on biology, genetics, and human health

Molecular Workbench - Hundreds of simulations explore physics, chemistry, and biology.

NMSU Virtual Labs - Eight virtual labs for biology and chemistry

Nova Labs - Virtual labs that cover a variety of topics

Online Labs - Lists places to find virtual labs for chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy, geology, and astronomy

Happy Numbers: K-5 Set up a class and students work along with math standards

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
While you teach small groups, Happy Numbers individualizes instruction for the rest of the class,
and gives you actionable insights about student growth.

College Readiness Lives or Dies in Elementary Classrooms

Only ½ of US high school students are ready for college math. Those who lag behind their peers by grade 8 have been on this clear trajectory since kindergarten

To prepare today's elementary students for the jobs of tomorrow, we first need to prepare them for high school and college.

This is why implementing quality resources and instruction in grades PK-5 is so critical.

Depth over Breadth, Quality over Quantity

"All-singing, all-dancing" resources don't lead to deep conceptual understanding. Time-tested pedagogy and research do. Happy Numbers is built on this vision - empowered by the latest technology and shaped through our work with real teachers across the country.

Connected PK-5 Math Story

Math by its very nature is an interconnected subject that builds on itself, and so is Happy Numbers. It's a coherent PK-5 math story, not a shopping list of stand-alone rules and processes. The thoughtfully-designed progression of skills, concepts, connections, and tools that students acquire through Happy Numbers ensures a firm foundation for middle school and beyond.

Meaning behind Math with Every Touch

Mastering math is about more than just getting the right answer. Students need to understand the reasoning behind their actions, having the flexibility to respond to challenges along the way.

Happy Numbers technology allows for hands-on modeling with a diverse range of manipulatives. Read more...

Individualized Scaffolding and Feedback

Happy Numbers builds an individualized math dialogue and responds to students just the way you would: unpacking concepts step-by-step, scaffolding learning, and providing immediate feedback based on student inputs.

Individualized pacing means those who demonstrate mastery progress more quickly, and those who need more instruction receive it. Read more... Read less

Quick Sneak Peek

Experience it yourself as you view a student

Differentiation = Success for Every Student

The average 1-to-1-instructed student scores higher than 98% of those in a conventional
non-differentiated classroom. That's the power of individualized instruction: every student can succeed.

How can a teacher be everywhere at once?

While we can't clone teachers, Happy Numbers can ensure students get quality instruction when working independently (freeing up teachers to differentiate with small groups):

Each student starts off at the right point in the curriculum thanks to built-in Quantile-based assessments

Students progress at their own pace through our pedagogy-rich math story, supported by instant, individualized feedback and scaffolding

Teachers get actionable insights from Happy Numbers to inform their differentiation strategy

SRI International, conducted a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the ASSISTments platform, concluding in 2015. The findings revealed a substantial 75% increase in learning outcomes for students whose teachers utilized ASSISTments, in comparison to what normally happens in a year.

In 2017, WestEd received a federal grant to replicate this research study. The replication study yielded analogous results, showing that students using ASSISTments continued to exhibit higher learning outcomes even one year after the intervention.

The sample size was substantially increased to 5991 students and included a more diverse population, which enabled researchers to perform analyses based on minority economic status. Remarkably, the findings indicated even greater improvements in learning outcomes for students of color. An analysis of schools with a majority of students experiencing poverty revealed that they experienced a more pronounced positive effect as well.
