There are many, MANY resources out there for teachers to use! It's a matter of what are good resources to use for your students. I found the more hands-on a lesson can be, the better. Students love a variety of materials to use and make connects with every day life to their learning.
I enjoyed using geometric blocks and making pictures in math. I love having playdoh for practicing spelling words. Moreover, the students enjoyed the cut out pizzas for our fraction unit. It is important to know what tools and materials are age appropriate and making adaptations for those students that need changes to lessons.I LOVE to include books into my lessons! They show students great examples of writing and illustrations as well as good sentence structure and conventions.
Technology can be a great resource for teachers too! We are coming into a new era of technology in the classroom and I feel it's important for students to use technology as often in lessons as possible. It was great in stations to have IPads. Our first grade class was lucky to have the opportunity to have 2 and the students enjoyed practicing literacy and math through different apps available.
For any teacher, it is a great resource to use the internet to find ideas and share lessons with other teachers. I find teacherpayteachers.com and pinterest to be great and creative resources!
Below are pictures of different materials I have used in lessons.
