Our 1st Day & New Teacher Resources

A MiddleWeb Classic

Our old website is gone, but some of the best content from the early days lives on!

 Looking for MiddleWeb’s 1st Day Resources?

For many years, we featured a “First Day Resources” section on our old website. It was VERY popular and many education sites shared links to some of our 1st Day pages. When we rebuilt our site in 2012, we weren’t able to keep those old pages (and many of the links were out of date). But we did capture some of the best content and included it here at the new MiddleWeb.
