Links provided by Sumyu:

Here is a great site created by the Black Gold School Division that has resources that is organized by  grade and then broken down into subject and curricular units which link you to teacher generated materials on Google Drive that you can use, print, or copy/edit/adapt. 




Here is a link to some useful digital tools for reviewing and reinforcing learning, creating presentations & projects,  developing reading & writing skills, etc. 



Some tools on this site  that I have used include:

XtraMath: free program to practice basic math skills on a daily basis - tracks progress really accurately (but full disclosure - my kids don't really love)


Khan Academy is a free online math program that is like having a virtual math teacher - it has useful teaching videos, practice questions with explanations and then a quick quiz for assessment. 


EPIC - free digital library of award winning fiction, non-fiction, STEM books, learning videos and more. Instantly access 35,000 high-quality books for kids ( good now that the libraries are closed)

BrainPOP -explains a wide variety curricular topics with short cartoon videos and activities & review quizzes - they are providing free access during the school closure.  


Spelling City  builds literacy, spelling, & phonics through gamefied activities.- VocabularySpellingCity.com | Home


Some super amazing resources using Google Earth....
