Find instructional resources on the Internet.
As students take part in Daily 5 I would like to find a variety of Online Reading resources at their level.  We currently use Mel.org, EPIC and BookFlix, but I would like to give them more of a variety and then share these links in Google Classroom for students to access.

If we come up with a great idea for teaching a subject, we can share it with one another instantly! Not only that, we can save it for future use.

It allows me to make a copy of my current lesson plan and quickly make changes for the coming week. The best part-it is accessible anywhere from a device.

It's easy to customize your schedule, drop in standards, attach files or resources. An added benefit is that I can share it with other teachers or administrators.  I can print off plans for a Guest teacher or for a parent who has asked for resources to use while their child is on vacation.

There are 5 of us that teach 3rd grade and we each have a subject that we are in charge of in terms of creating the lesson plans. We all have access to each person's lesson plans, once it is uploaded. Each of us can print the plans and the accompanying worksheets that are needed for the unit.
