Resources for Elementary Teachers APRIL 3 - 10      Featured Resource PBS LearningMedia: Class Pages Grade Range: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12 PBS LearningMedia is the new digital library of public media content built specifically for teachers, but do you know about the new Class Pages feature? Anything you've saved on PBS LearningMedia can be transformed into a powerful tool for you students. Rather than showing a clip in class, with the class page feature, you can let students, parents, and anyone else view your saved media anytime they want. You can create separate pages for the different classes you teach and add comments to each individual content piece so that your students know exactly what you want them to learn. Set up multiple sections for different students working together in groups, or assign an interactive as homework. The possibilities are endless.

Interactive Phases of the Moon Grade Range: K-2, 3-5, 6-8 Over the course of a month, the different shapes of the moon are the result of the moon's orbit around the Earth and reflected sunlight.

Interactive Martha's Rhyme Time Grade Range: K-2, 3-5 In this interactive from Martha Speaks, students make their own rhyming couplets.
