I keep a list of themed websites that are easy-in easy-out for students. They must be activities that can be accomplished enjoyably in less than ten minutes. In the parlance, these are called “sponges”. Here are 19 I think you’ll like:

Language Arts

Math

Problem solving

  1. The Crossing–attempts to cross a gorge; some fail; all result in success
  2. Math Pickle–put student in a choatic situation and see how they solve the problem

Science
