  Smithsonian's History Explorer This site is jam-packed with ready-to-teach lessons. Everything is standards-based and labeled as such, which gives you more time to pick the most appropriate lessons for your students. Students can also explore the site on their own, but that'll work best for older, self-directed students. However, it can be an ideal source for research report material or an in-class presentation since it aggregates tons of primary sources. No matter what you or your students are after, prepare to do some digging, and be aware that there are broken links as well as links out to all kinds of different sites. This can be a little disorienting. Thankfully, filtering works well and is well-focused. The books search in particular has a "bilingual" filter, which helps surface content for ELLs. For the tech savvy, featured resources and users' search results can be saved as an RSS feed to make checking for updates easier. To orient yourself, check...

  K5 Learning was founded in 2011 to provide learning tools for K-5 kids. Since then, millions of parents, tutors and teachers have visited our site and downloaded our materials. We continue to focus on providing high quality, free worksheets and inexpensive workbooks for K-5. We believe: Children's brains are like sponges. They can learn a lot given the opportunity. Kids can only reach their potential by learning at their own pace. Independent learning builds confidence and good study habits. Strong reading and math skills are the basis of all future learning. Why worksheets and workbooks? For learning and practicing some skills, we believe a pencil and paper offers unique advantages. First and foremost, working on paper encourages children to slow down, read and think.  In contrast, the way we have learned to use screens promotes scanning, guessing and tapping.   As the difficulty of exercises increases, the ability to "work things out" by hand (calc...

Learning Reimagined Welcome to the World of Blooket: a new take on trivia and review games! The way it works is that a teacher/host picks a question set and a unique game mode. Then, we generate a code that players can use to join the game on their own devices. After the game starts, players will answer questions to help them win. That's where the fun starts, because we offer a variety of games to keep students engaged and excited! Note:  The above comes directly from their website.  Click here to learn more.

  Original photo by New Africa/ Shutterstock Teddy Roosevelt received an honorary black belt in judo. Teddy Roosevelt is often thought of as one of America’s toughest presidents, and for good reason. In addition to delivering a speech  immediately after getting shot  (“It takes more than that to kill a bull moose,” he said during his remarks) and fighting in the Spanish-American War as part of the  Rough Riders , he was also a skilled martial artist who received  an honorary black belt in judo  (and, according to some, was the first American to receive  a brown belt) . He accomplished the latter under the tutelage of  Yamashita Yoshitsugu , also known as Yamashita Yoshiaki, a Japanese judoka who holds the distinction of being the first person to receive a 10th-degree red belt (jūdan). Even more impressively, he did all this  while serving as president . Already a skilled boxer and wrestler, he first encountered judo on a trip to Japan and sou...
