Websites of the Week ![]() 1. I am absolutely enchanted with Mystery Doug. This FREE site has a new video each week that you can show your students to inspire questions. ![]() 2. Another amazing website I stumbled across this week was Freckle.com. This is a reinforcement and practice site. It covers skills like English, math, science, or history. I love that it has a teacher interface that allows you to keep tabs on student progress. It imports students from Google Classroom making getting students in a breeze! ![]() 3. This Week's STEAM Idea This week instead of giving you step by step directions, I would like to share a site with you that has lots of different STEAM ideas. You need to check out Momgineer. The page I am linking you to is called Bird Beak STEM. This set of challenges starts with a choose your own adventure story. The choices the students make in the story affect what happens to the birds. Students not only get to learn about adaptations but also get to see how pollution interferes with an animal's habitat. ![]() 4. Weekly Resource I found a great hyperdoc example online that centers around informational writing. I would love to work with you to create your own version of this. Third grade teachers, this could be used as is since you cover adaptations in science. To see the resource, click on the image to the left. You can then add to your Google Drive. 5. Friday at the Movies - Still love Michael!
