I love my adventure as a special education teacher. I kind of found the calling by accident but it has turned out the be one of biggest blessings in my life. But I had to totally change my teaching style and make my instruction not for my own comfort but the comfort of the staff and students I serviced in my classroom as well as stay close to the standards, curriculum and testing prep that were required by my district. I have always had the passion for the left behind learner or the quiet kid in the corner. And the child that no one understood. Here are some websites both paid and free I depend on for my instruction.
Education.com
www.education.com
They offer a free service and paid subscription with various worksheets for themes and skills. I really like them for the lower level learner where they can work on skills with fewer problems and colorful graphics on every worksheet. It allows you not download with a paid subscription a worksheet, book or theme easily.
Teachers Notebook
www.teachersnotebook.com
They have games and worksheets at every level. They have made lots of improvements and I utilize the material for both Social Studies and Science but also for the core subjects. I look forward to their free material delivered to my inbox every week.
Teachers Pay Teachers

They are absoltulely my go to for both sheets and games. It is neat when you don't have to recreate the wheel and materials are available from decorating your classroom to academic materials. I love their clip art form cute graphics to colorful borders and frames. My only complaint would be that they deliver their material Sunday night and that makes it tough to print out the material to laminate Monday morning.
Special Ed. About com

It is so rewarding to have a educator who has been in various classrooms and environments. He has great worksheets and ideas for both the primary and intermediate learner.
Learning AtoZ
This is one of the most valuable websites my school has gotten a subscription to. It has leveled books and worksheets for various topics across the curriculum. My only complaint it is not always user friendly but definitely wonderful knowing that you can use it for especially suppliments to my Science and Social Studies curriculum.
And I could not leave the discussion without highlighting my own personal website for fitness and personal interest Pinterest Pages.
