I've discovered a lot this past school year about not re-inventing the wheel. My first year mentor and college professors always talked about this, and I always heard them, but its meaning never really sank in. It means: don't try to do everything yourself! You can't! Share with others and learn from them!
So learn from this - these are the top 5 websites that have saved my life this past year, and you need to know about them too!
1. TpT - Teachers
pay Teachers - and don't worry about money! I know, you're broke! So
instead, scroll down and click on "free" on the left hand side. Then
click you're grade level, subject, etc and browse away! SO EASY! SO SIMPLE! It
will make your life less hectic, too!
2. .Donorschoose.org-
This website is where you go to get the things you need, but can't afford on
your own. Simply create a project for your classroom, shop for the supplies
through their "mall" and submit it. Put some thought into this, but
dream big!
3. Pinterest- If you haven't subscribed to pinterest
yet, you are crazy! Every new and cute idea is on this site! Countless
bloggers, teachers, friends, magazines and other organizations on here, pinning
their newest or most favorite ideas, ready for you to see! Ask someone you know
to invite you to the site, or request membership on your own.
4. CFC -
Clutter-Free Classroom - My MOST FAVORITE teacher blog! She will show
you the ins and outs of organizing your space, decluttering your room, and
simplifying your life as a teacher! I LOVE her products and recommend them to
everyone! Just look and see for yourself!
5. Scholastic Book Clubs- If you've been hired and have
your first classroom, this is a no-brainer! Scholastic seems to be one of the
best and least expensive ways to build your classroom and promote literacy at
any age! They always offer some kind of teacher coupon, especially for first
year teachers, and they have prices that are hard to beat!
