None of these websites require user ID or password to access or print lessons.
Be careful if you use the Twilight movies and Twilight books as classroom lessons or activities. Some students may be frightened by the content. It's possible that parents will object to vampire fiction or sexual content in Twilight books. Horror is a genre studied in the reading curriculum in schools. And Twilight was a very popular book series that literally ushered in the niche genre of vampire fiction.


But you will want to prepare students for this type of content and be sensitive to their response to the literature. Just because you may love the series, remember that the movie was rated PG-13. Never belittle or admonish a child who is not comfortable reading any type of literature. Not wanting to read Twilight, vampire fiction or horror genre books does not imply immaturity; some children are very sensitive about what they read. This is usually because they are in fact very thorough readers and not desensitized to violence. You will also need to clear this book with department heads and let parents know that you plan to use the book series in class.

Free Printable Handwriting, Cursive Penmanship Worksheets


One of the lessons that often gets lost in a teacher's busy school day is penmanship. Arguably, cursive is less important with the advent of computers. Legible handwriting is not nearly as prized as it was when students wrote more and typed less. Older people remember spending hours practicing manuscript and cursive writing. And their penmanship was neater.

Here are free printable handwriting worksheets, manuscript writing practice pages and cursive penmanship worksheets. Use free printable manuscript (printing letters) and cursive writing worksheets.
There are different methods and styles for teaching penmanship. Zaner-Bloser style is the older handwriting style in which printed letters are written vertically with no slant. Then D'Nnealian came into vogue in the early 1980s. D'nealian manuscript (printed letters) are written at a slant with more rounding of letters.
