So, why not start big and begin the rejuvenation with a Linky Party :)Kelley over at Teacher Idea Factory has begun a great Link Up for all of those teacher resources you can't live without. Here are some of my favorites from this year:
I am a zealous Smart Board user and visit this website to download {FREE!} ready to go activities. It is super easy to search for certain concepts and I like the option to select multiple grade levels too!
Discovery Education's United Streaming. My school district has a subscription and we can instantly stream tons of videos...all kid friendly! Nope, no worrying about inappropriate ads or language, this is an easy go to for instructional videos.
Music! I love to sneak in Heidi's Songs, Jack Hartman, Intelli-Tunes, Dr. Jean and random itunes selections into our day. It is such a fun way to jazz up-no pun intended :) to smooth transitions or energize a boring concept. Plus, I just had a dance loving class this year....they would work their little hearts out for a 1 minute dance party!
Apple ipad...
Okay this one is kind of cheating, but I recently found out I will be the proud owner of 3 new ipads for the upcoming school year and I KNOW I will use the heck out of them. I can't wait to discover what a great resource this is going to become!

Thank you oh-so much for joining up with the Linky! Your resources are wonderful . . . especially that part about Intelli-Tunes :) I love your whole PB&J theme. Those little bread pieces make me smile. I am following you two. Thanks again!
