Websites of the Week
Below are different websites to the standard ones we use as a school on a regular basis such as Sparkle Box, Teach This or K-3 Resources. The ones I have featured are UK based but they give us fresh ideas. I have used all of them .Mrs Pancake is free, but you can give a donation.Teacher's Pet is free for displays - $12 per year for resources. Pencil St has some free resources, you can also buy credits for resources.
Happy exploring .
Mrs Pancake
Mrs Pancake is the teacher everyone loves. She's kind to the kids, always brings treats and just loves making Doodads - wonderful educational resources for parents and teachers. Our lovely Doodads help teachers and parents teach literacy, numeracy, lots of topics and just generally make classrooms look great. Mrs P and her team hope to make learning interesting and fun. www.mrspancake.com
Teacher's Pet
Teacher’s Pet launched in April 2010 with a single website, a handful of resources and a mission, for Teacher’s Pet to be your one stop shop for classroom and teaching resources. Today Teacher’s Pet consists of 2 resource sites with thousands of resources, an extremely popular blog, a shop with hundreds of great pre-printed resource packs, a growing selection of iPad apps and a vibrant and enthusiastic community of over 10,000 teachers. www.tpet.co.uk
Pencil Street
Pencil Street exists for two reasons. First, to help teachers make learning more enjoyable, engaging and effective for primary school children. Second, to make teachers’ lives a little bit easier along the way. So, wherever we can, we provide our resources for free – you’ll find loads of them! However, sometimes we have costs that we can’t absorb. Whether that’s to enable us to work with highly skilled and experienced teachers to develop our products, or to pay for the high quality photographic and visual imagery that can make a resource so much more impactful and exciting. www.pencilstreet.org
