5. Teachers Pay Teachers.com  what a great way for teachers to make some extra money. We all know we don't get paid enough for what we do but we love what we do and the money doesn't matter. I just recently purchased Michelle Oakes Place Ten Value activities because I downloaded her sample and my students LOVED it.

7. Santa-Maria Bonita School District If your district uses Houghton Mifflin than you will LOVE what this teacher share website has to offer. They have morning messages, banners for each theme, language practice ws, vocabulary cards for each story (my favorite I use when I introduce the new vocabulary words), readers theaters to go with some of the stories, and some great ideas for focus walls.
