June is a hectic time for teachers. Primary teachers need activities that engage small children, that tie into the theme, and provide a (small) break for the tired teacher. This resource works just great:
Three Pigs Enrichment Pack

This Primary Enrichment pack is ideal for any primary classroom. It has a huge 27 page coloring book based on The Three Little Pigs Story, and lots of web links to other sites, videos, and resources to immerse your little tykes in this great story! The coloring book is all original art work. Preview this resource here:

Prezi is an award winning creative and free online presentation site that wows students and teachers alike. It is is hard to beat this original and effective site. Using Prezi is like having a large on-line white board that you can fill with text, video, animations, and pictures. You then set the presentation to “zoom” in and out of the different components you have added.

Another must have useful site for a techie or non-techie teacher is SOLARO. It can be found at:

SOLARO » Helping the World learn, ONE STUDENT at a time.

Solaro is an easy to use online teaching, study, practice, or assessment tool for students and teachers. This allows students to log on to lessons/ quizzes/ tests previewed or chosen by the teacher. And all the questions are aligned to the regional standards. In BC Canada, my Solaro accounts tie in directly with the Prescribed Learning Outcomes of the BC Ministry of Education. This direct tie-in is true all over North America.

An amazing thing about this service is that it is offered FREE to all schools. THAT’S RIGHT FREE! The easy to use interface, the number of options for teachers makes this site the #1 top winner of useful web sites for teachers!
