Websites I use in my classroom:

1. www.myja.org/financepark I use this website in my Skills for Living class to show my students a video of the Junior Achievement Finance Park in Pittston, PA. Junior Achievement is an organization that teaches students about independent living skills, financial skills, and allows them to be an adult for a day. In January my students and I will be attending a field trip to JA Finance Park where each student will be given a career and a salary. They will have to pay bills and make investments throughout their experience there. The video on the website will prepare the students for the JA Finance Park Financial section of the curriculum I teach as well as for their experience during the field trip.

2. http://mypyramid.gov I use this website in my foods classes to teach my students about the food pyramid as part of the Nutrition Unit I teach.

3. www.discoveryeducation.com I use the discovery education website with my students when they are researching videos based on topics taught in my classes.

4. www.engrade.com I use this website to keep track of my students grades and the students each have an access code to use to check their grades from home or any computer. They can also check to see for upcoming tests and quizzes.

5. http://jc-schools.net/tutorials/ppt-games/ I use this website to create review games for tests in all of my classes.

6. www.youtube.com I use videos from youtube to show my students videos related to the curriculum I teach.

7. www.childcare.gov I use this website to show my students statistics and information on child care for my Child Development/Child Care classes.

8. www.bls.gov I use this website with my Child Development/Child Care classes to show them opportunities and statistics of careers that they can pursue upon graduation working with children.

9. www.vvhomework.org I post all of my weekly homework assignments on the Valley View School District website for students to access from school or home.
