Teacher Resources

 

It is exciting to know that teachers visit my class website to get ideas for their own classrooms.  I receive many emails from teachers about the website, and I apologize that I don't have to time to respond to all of your comments and questions.  However, I will once again be working for Scholastic this year and will be adding lots of new ideas, pictures, and videos to a section of their website called Teaching Matters.  You can check it out and post your comments and questions there.
