Elementary-Lesson-Share (E-L-S) was originally created so that teachers, support staff and/or student-teachers could share their lesson plans and units. Over time it has evolved into a broader forum for exchanging classroom tips, activities, and resources. It also has related mailrings/sites that focus on specific grade levels or subject areas,
e.g., Third-Grade-Teachers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/third-grade-teachers,
Math Matters for K-2nd Grade Teachers http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mathmattersk-2, etc.
(A complete list of these grade level and subject specific support groups' names and url addresses is included in the links section).

Be sure to check out our group's archives where you can view the links, files, past messages, etc. You are welcome to join in the collective exchange of information as soon as you feel comfortable with the process.

Many thanks are due to Donna Thompson who laid the foundation for this group while she was a student teacher.
