Conversely, Kristin Smith, an elementary lead teacher, shared out the website called The Budget Game. Although you may have to make your budget in Pounds (British currency), it’s a helpful tool in practicing making budgets for elementary schoolers who are learning about money or even high schoolers who have might have budgeting needs. (A transition grid activity?!)

Wednesday Website: Quill

Another Wednesday, another Wednesday Website! This week’s was Quill.org, shared by Middle School Lead Teacher Ms. Correll.

Quill is a site based off of ELA Common Core Standards, aiming to help students with writing and grammar in an interactive way. Teachers can create their own accounts, and student accounts can be created if you wish. The resources are endless – check it out for more!

Wednesday Website: Virtual Nerd

This week’s Wednesday Website was shared out by middle school teacher, Ali Serson. She shared the site Virtual Nerd, which hoses dozens of educational math videos which are helpful in explaining various math concepts to students. The videos include mostly middle school math, Algebra I & II, and geometry.

The videos are clear, concise examples and are especially helpful for students to review independently. The site is free!
