Site

"You Gotta See This"

National Middle School Association NMSA has a good collection of books, all for a reasonable price, and at a discount for NMSA members, and a further discount for ordering online.
 
MidLink Magazine The "Web Honor Roll" has myriad resources, such as: Magnetic Poetry for L.A. classes
(students create poetry on virtual fridges and lockers using word magnets) and Physics of Rides for Science classes (students can network with amusement park engineers to design their own rides).

 
MiddleWeb Although it's not a novel idea, collaborating with the community, family and school is imperative for a successful experience for children.  This model is outlined in the best middle grade resource on this site.
 
Middle School Hub We liked the Current Events section because it's not content specific and it's a good way to keep kids up to date on noteworthy news.  We could use it in TA or in the classroom.
 
New England League of Middle Schools This site has a variety of information that is very useful for parents. It also has a monthly publication that highlights current issues and is researched based.
