Conjunction Junction

This is a video by Schoolhouse Rock, to teach students about the functions of conjunctions.

State Capitals

This is a map of the United States along with state capitals. States and capitals are topics often taught in elementary school. While it may not seem necessary to know them all it is basic knowledge that should at least be taught. There are many fun ways to incorporate both topics into your classroom, for instance songs and games.

Presidents of the United States

The above picture is a picture of the Presidents of the United States. This could be used to help students learn who the different Presidents were. As well as help them make connections between important events in American History and which President was in office. The President's are a huge part of American History and should be included in elementary lesson plans.

North Clackamas School District

My expertise about the North Clackamas School District comes from being a student at schools in it for eleven years. I currently have four younger siblings that are attending schools within the district. Due to this I am still involved and aware of the events that are taking place to make it a positive school district. The site is just lists of what schools are located in the district. While I think this is handy I believe that pictures and contact information for each of the schools would also be very beneficial.

Sabin-Schellenberg

I attended classes at the Sabin-Schellenberg Center for three years. When I came across the wikipedia site I was disappointed in how poorly it was constructed. The site even has a clean up sign posted at the top. I believe that my background knowledge from when I was there as well as my contacts and even just borrowing information from the Center's website would add improvement.

Clackamas High School

I was a student at Clackamas High School for four years. I attended Clackamas from the September of 2002 until June of 2006. I was a two-sport athlete and was involved in many aspects of the high school community. The site is very bland. I don't feel that it catches the Clackamas spirit. What makes Clackamas wonderful is its sense of community and the site doesn't portray this. Pictures and added links would greatly benefit it.
