An Overview of ClassBrain
ClassBrain is an educational company that creates supplementary
resources for students, parents, and teachers. Currently, all of
our materials have been extensively researched and created for PreK
through Grade 12, as well as the special needs of parents and teachers.
We also have select materials coming out for college level students.
What will you find on ClassBrain.com?
Pre-K through 3rd Grade
Special sections have been designed just for Pre-K to Kindergarten
and 1st to 3rd grades. Our Pre-K-Kindergarten
section has been designed using a visual navigation system to accommodate
pre-readers. Along with easy to understand visual clues, the navigation
system in our 1st-3rd Grade section introduces
more written descriptions to accommodate young readers. Both sections
are separated into School Time, Play Time, and How
To sections that are full of interesting materials for young
minds.
State Reports
If you need extensive information on all 50 United States, youll
find it in our State Reports section. Thousands of well-researched
links to official government sites covering history, symbols, tourism,
and other many interesting subjects can be found here. Students
and teachers can also search relevant collections from the Library
of Congress directly from our site. Weve also created puzzles
to exercise students knowledge of the 50 states. To assist
students with their State Report projects, we have compiled useful
worksheets and guidelines to help them along the way.
Direct access to the section is available at www.statereports.com.
Country Reports
Weve based our Country Reports section on the CIA Fact
Book and edited it especially to make it student-friendly and accessible
for school use. We have also assembled a great list of links for
each of the countries! These links include national tourism sites,
as well as links to information on history, people, holidays, and
other subjects. Information will be updated as our world changes.
Direct access to the section is available at www.mycountryreport.com.
Mission Reports
By popular demand, we have recently introduced our Mission Report
Section. We currently have a concise history on each of the California
Missions available. In the upcoming months, well be adding
building layouts, photos, and how to build your mission
tips.
The Freedom Files
Life in America, and all around the world, dramatically changed
on September 11, 2001.
The Freedom Files are a celebration of America and its people.
We have information on The Great Seal of the United States, patriotic
activity pages for the kids, including a visual Pledge of Allegiance
worksheet, and links to information on the democratic system of
the United States. All of us should learn more about this great
country in which we live. What were the events that led up to September
11th and what do we need to do to protect ourselves today?
We created the Freedom Files section to serve as an archive of what
happened in America during this challenging time.
Direct access to the section is available at www.freedomfiles.com.
The Monthly Grab Bag
This section is full of surprises! We designed mini lesson plans
on various events happening throughout the year. Youll find
interesting lessons and worksheets on many seasonal topics, some
of which are more obscure than others. Black History Month, George
Washington, Halloween, Christmas, Chanukah, Eid-ul-Adha, and
National Poetry Month are just a few of the topics currently available.
We are constantly adding to the list, so check back often.
Games Section
We believe that learning can be fun, so weve included
a games section on our site. Playing games on our site isnt
only fun, its educational too! We have action games, sports
games, and strategy and board games just to name a few. All of our
games are based in education, so whether its English, language,
strategic thinking, math, or visual acuity, the kids will be learning
while they play.
Parent/Teacher Section
If you have felt in the past that, as a parent or teacher, you
have been overlooked on the Internet, were hoping to change
that feeling. Weve introduced the ClassBrain section for parents
and teachers. Weve been busy finding great resources, articles,
lesson plans, and worksheets for you to use at home and at school.
We even have places for you to contribute your own articles, lesson
plans, ideas and tips. Check back often for the latest ideas and
information.
Movies in the Classroom
An exciting new section within the Parent Teacher section is
Movies in the Classroom. Movies are a part of our everyday life.
We go to the movie theater to see new films, we watch them on TV,
and we buy our favorites on VHS or DVD. The amazing thing is that
were not using them in our classrooms as much as we could.
Our children can learn from many movies that provide wonderful lessons.
ClassBrain is building lesson plans based on these films. The best
way to get a feel for what were doing is to take a look through
a few of the lessons. Look for great things to come in this section.
Direct access to the section is available at www.moviesintheclassroom.com.
