I have been introduced to a quite a few websites that I love to use in my classroom, some kids have told me that they play on at home, or some that I use to help create homework and sub work.  These are those websites, with descriptions...

Spelling City: www.spellingcity.com I put the weekly spelling words in and let the kids play games with the spelling words. The games include: Hang Mouse (Hangman), Word Search, Word Scramble, and Fill in the Missing Letter.

PBS Kids: http://pbskids.org/ Kids can watch educational videos and play games.

A to Z Teacher Stuff: http://atozteacherstuff.com/ Free printable pages for many subjects. I use it mostly to make word searches of spelling/vocabulary words.

Little Book Lane: http://www.littlebooklane.com/ This website has activities divided up by grade level. I used it to create centers and homework around word families.

Hubbard's Cupboard: http://www.hubbardscupboard.org/ Pretty much the same as Little Book Lane's description. 

Cool Math: http://www.coolmath-games.com/ Free math games for kids of all ages.

StarFall: http://www.starfall.com/ A lot of Literacy and Math activities.

FunBrain: http://www.funbrain.com/ Mostly Math Games

Below are some websites I have heard of and appear to be free. I have not had the chance to use them in my classroom... yet!

JigZone: http://www.jigzone.com/ - Online Puzzles

*******Two very AWESOME pay websites are: www.tumblebooks.com and www.brainpopjr.com (there is also www.brainpop.com) Our school pays for the subscription to both of these websites. Tumblebooks has many, many animated books with the words on the screen for the students. BrainPop and BrainPop Jr. have a lot of videos to teach children specific lessons. BrainPop Jr. is for grades K-2, BrainPop is for grades 3-5.*******

If you know of any other websites (free would be awesome), please let me know. After I check them out, I will pass the information along!
