I’ve been working on getting the lesson plans ready for the year and ran into some very helpful sites that I wanted to share.

There is a group on Yahoo called Elementary Lesson Share. Teachers of Elementary School Age Children share lesson plans. The group was formed by a retired teacher from Australia, a Canadian Teacher and an American Teacher. The links have been wonderful after only a few days of subscribing. I highly recommend this group!

One of the links from the group was for an online printable book site called Learning Island. While they request you do not download the pdf’s in order to protect copyrights, you can print them (along with the covers) directly from the site. So far, I’ve printed “14 Fun Facts About Black Holes” and “An Awful Event” which is a book containing biographical pics and info, along with actual news articles, about the assassination of President Lincoln.

Hope these help you as much as they have me.
