Brainpop

The websites Brainpop.com and Brainpopjr.com are great resources to use in the classroom as well as for preparation for an upcoming lesson. There are activities, kid friendly explanations of difficult concepts, and short video clips that the students love! I have found that site to be so useful, especially for social studies. I found activities for producers and consumers from site to be extremely helpful. They were exactly what I needed, had good directions, and were very relatable for second graders. These invaluable resources saved me hours and hours of time when i was making a unit study for producers and consumers. I realized when I was on this site how many resources are available to teachers and I want to make sure I take full advantage of it. If anyone has favorite websites for teaching resources, please leave a comment here!
