Weekend Website #80: Sponges for Classroom–by topic
Every Friday, I’ll send you a wonderful website (or more) that my classes and my parents love. I think you’ll find they’ll be a favorite of your students as they are of mine.
Age:
K-5
Topic:
Websites to fill in that 5-10 minutes between topic, before lunch or whenever you need filler that’s educational, but brief.
Review:
Here’s a list of websites that can insure you waste no time in your classroom. I have 51 websites that are general, and 22 that are divided into Vocabulary, Geography, History and Art. This is an update of the old-style puzzles or paper sponges to educational fillers that will truly engage students and have them thirsting for more, even when the sponge time ends.
