Many of you who are already following this blog probably won't need to read this post as you arrived here because of this site...
One of my favorite FREE teacher resource sites is www.proteacher.net. ProTeacher is  professional community and web directory for elementary school teachers in grades PreK-8. It uses a message board format and is organized by grade level and content area. There are even groups set up for specific topics/issues such as Daily 5, Units of Study, and student teachers, etc. If you've not been here, you're missing out on some great resources and a wonderful network of educators. The best part is you can easily just lurk and grab great ideas or become a contributor of ideas.
Just to give you an idea of what you might find on a visit, here is a screen shot of the first grade board and the topics that are being discussed right now.

If you venture over, be prepared to get hooked. It's amazing how quickly you go from a lurker to a poster looking for answers to your own questions, to a contributor sharing your ideas with other.

Hope to see you there!
