Common Core Resources
Encyclopedia entries, magazine articles, and more about ANY topic are available from DISCUS. Fantastic for K - 5. You can sort hits by lexile. Plus, there are some awesome new resources on DISCUS this year, including BrainPopJr.! Ask us for the username and password to access DISCUS from home!
Current events for kids - good for K - 5. A good addition to My Little Earth. AND, there's an app for that!
The Learning Commons has subscriptions to both of these online resources. BookFlix pairs a fiction and non-fiction book and TrueFlix is ALL non-fiction. Watch for log in information soon!
We have some FANTASTIC non-fiction that is wonderful for read alouds. Check out the resource list on Destiny called Common Core for some suggestions! We'll keep adding to this list throughout the year (AND, speaking of Resource Lists - look for suggested books to go along with LLG & LifeSkills!)
Don't forget that we have magazines and that we get the newspaper everyday!
Finally, check out this fantastic article about lexiles from The Book Whisperer!
