Rockin' Resources

Kelley at Teacher Idea Factory is hosting her first Linky Party.



The party is Rockin' Resources:  Thinks I Couldn't Live Without.
So here is my list of 5 things I count on all the time in my classroom!




1.  We use our CPS everyday!  The kiddos call them "clickers" and LOVE them!  I LOVE that I don't have anything to grade when I use these!  It does all the work for me!




2.  Brain Pop Jr.  Gotta LOVE Annie and Moby!  




3.  Elements of Reading:  Vocabulary
LOVE*LOVE  This is AWESOME...robust vocabulary, great motivational activities, colorful, realistic...Fab-U-lous program!  My kiddos beg for this!
You can read more about this program in one of my posts here.


4.  Teacher's Notebook

No explanation needed...you know exactly what I mean!  :)




5.  My classroom library

So, there are my TOP 5.  
What are yours?  
Head on over and link up at Kelley's linky party!

    Rebecca,
    I love teachers notebook too! Do you like your clickers? Our school has bought 2 different types, but there are always problems with them. Have you had any constant problems? I would like to get some for my class. I'm your newest follower.

    Brain Pop is awesome. The kiddos love to do the quizzes at the end so they get to come up to the smartboard and participate. :)

    You are the third person to mention Brain Pop! I guess I should be checking that out next year!

    We have clickers also, although yours are much cuter than ours! We have trouble with them connecting to Study Island at times which is a bummer since they already have all the quizzes. I also use them with Brain Pop, Jr. quizzes. What else do you use them for?

    I have the same vocabulary program - I love it and the kids adore it! We had a lot of fun using the vocabulary to write our own stories...I'll share the link below. I'm your newest follower - good luck in second grade!
