It never fails to amaze me at the things I stumble on by accident on United Streaming. If you don't know, United Streaming is an AMAZING site with a digital video library and other resources. Most of the videos have lesson plans with them as well. Their library is just amazing, and every time I search for one thing in particular, I seem to stumble upon other resources that are just phenomenal. You do have to have a subscription, but it is so worth it. I honestly don't know what I would do without it. It is the first place I search for resources when I'm getting ready to plan for a unit/theme/topic. Here is a list of some great resources, just type the keywords in the search box. I really wish there was a listing of all these so that I wouldn't just find things by accident. Maybe if everybody shares some of their tips/finds in the comments, we could get a kind of database of resources! That would be great!
