Great Websites to Use in the Classroom

Through our group and entire class discussion boards I've noticed that a lot of teachers are interested in websites that their students can use in the classroom.  So, I decided to list a few of my favorites and give a brief description.  Keep in mind I teach 2nd grade!  I'd love to hear if you have any recommended sites too!

  • Math Magician - This is a fun site to practice basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts: http://www.westirondequoit.org/rogers/schaumbergweb/Oswego%20City%20School%20District%20Math%20Games.htm
  • Buy It! - A Money Game: http://www.lizardpoint.com/fun/java/buyit/BuyIt.html
  • Math Baseball - You can pick the skill as well as the difficulty level: http://www.funbrain.com/math/index.html
  • Raz-Kids - This site allows children to listen to , read, and record books as well as take quizzes.  It requires a subscription, but is well worth it: http://www.raz-kids.com/
  • Starfall- Read books by phonics skill: http://www.starfall.com/
  • Math Story - These are story problems that students solve on paper, but can then check their answer through the site: http://mathstory.com/storyindex.html
  • Measure It! - Practice measuring in cm. or inches and change the difficulty level: http://www.funbrain.com/measure/index.html 
  • Suffixes - A great way to practice multisyllabic words: http://www.tv411.org/lessons/cfm/vocabulary.cfm?str=vocabulary&num=10&act=4&que=1

What a great idea to post favorite websites. These are very helpful and I want to visit them. I do use Starfall in my classroom but many of the others are new to me. It's always nice to get information like this. It makes my search easier. Thanks for sharing these educational websites.
