Education.com
I love free resources and this site doesn't disappoint. It has a variety of standards based learning tools for all grade levels.
I particularly like the worksheet generator where you can use templates to load your own content. This was especially helpful to me for my higher level students as I had some challenges finding materials for those students.
TeachersPayTeachers.com
This is my go when I need ideas and a bit of creativity in my lessons. This site was great for finding more tactile lessons to enhance the current curriculum.
I used this mainly for group projects, but TPT was also a go to for holiday and art projects that were in alignment with standards.
Nearpod.com
Nearpods have always had a place in my heart. The selection of premade lessons is pretty incredible. It is easy to navigate and pop in your own slides into lessons.
I use the videos as an enhancement to curriculum. It is a great collaboration tool in the classroom. I particularly like the bulletin board for class sharing.
