Lego building online

This may not be a "classroom teachable" lesson but it sure would be cool for down-time, inside recess, etc. You could maybe even use it for a science lesson? I'm not sure. Google Chrome paired up with Lego to create a "stem online lego lab" of some sorts.

You can learn to build things, explore things that other people have built, or build from scratch whatever you want. This would be really cool for lego-loving kids or our techie kids. You don't have to sign in to build or play, but if you want to save what you have done, you will have to sign in using a google account. https://www.buildwithchrome.com 

Free online books

First graders are getting ready to take AR tests on their own so we have read several ebooks using our apple tv to practice taking tests. I came across this website while I was looking for free online books. It's called We Give Books. You can click the link or type it into your web browser. (Clicking is easier.) http://www.wegivebooks.org They have about 200 books that are easy reads. Some of the books require you to create an account to view but most of them say "Read Now" when you move your cursor over them. 

Anytime I come across a good ebook, I always go to http://www.arbookfind.com to make sure it's an AR book. 

This is also a good site to tell you where to find free ebooks. http://www.kcedventures.com/blog/finding-free-kids-books-online-books-for-kids#_a5y_p=974615

Feel free to share other sources. I have lots pinned on my pinterest.
