Lawrence Hall of Science

This is a science site for kids, 24/7 Science. http://www.lawrencehallofscience.org/kidsite/
It has some great science games and questions that elementary kids would find interesting.

TES Iboard

A great find - TESiboard is a good resource for tools that you can use with your Smartboard or at your computer.  It is a site from England that has lots and lots of math and literacy tools, especially for the younger grades. They have made it so you can easily link to the one activity on your website. If you are working on having a class website, this could be a great resource.

PBS Learning Media

It has been a long time since I have posted, but this site is one that is worthwhile bookmarking. PBS Learning Media has made an interface that allows for you to search through their resources for audio, documents, video, interactives and pictures. You can make an account so you can save your favorites. There doesn't seem to be a downloadable option for the videos and interactive, but the fact that you can save them in a favorites folder seems to be a good option. The price is right, free. They are going to offer a premium package for districts later, but being able to search for the interactives that PBS has in one place, is worth exploring.

Weather Forecasts, History of Weather

This site, WeatherSpark, is a new site that allows you to see the latest weather forecast for where you live. However, the part that is terrific about this site is that it also allows you to see and compare what weather was a week ago, months ago, years ago! You could go to this site and see what what the weather was like on the day that you were born.
It will allow you to create graphs and compare them. I think that the students would love this. I know I find it fascinating!

Safe Browser for Children - Kid Rex

This is a good place to start searching with students. KidRex, http://www.kidrex.org/
It is a site that uses the filters that Google provides for people to customize the sites. It also takes information from users about sites that manage to slip through the filter and are inappropriate. If you have a search engine page at school as your home page, this is where you should start.
