Here are a couple of my boards on Pinterest, where I'm collecting favourite ideas and resources to use in my classroom - at present, that's a Learning Centre in a high school, with students from Grade 7 to 10. (The resources on my boards are mostly from other people's websites - not The Classroom Kit.)
