I have taught for 18 years and have used Lesson Planet many times when I have had a dry spell with creativity. I have used lesson plans in Spelling, Reading, and beginning of the year ideas. This is the first time I have every paid for a professional service, and I plan to renew my subscription. Thank you for this resource.
