On the Message Board Here are some of the posts that are on our message boards. Check them out, share your ideas, and have fun! -"reading rods I am wondering if there is anyone who would know where I can get free resources for teaching reading, the resource I am looking for is called "reading rods", there are phonetic and words rods. I am wanting to help my son who is four and a half years old and also has Down syndrome. It is important to use a visual and tactile approach for little ones with Down syndrome. Also does anyone know where I can buy second hand the "love and learning" reading kits 1-4. I am not able to buy new due to costing." http://worldcrossing.com/WebX?.ef4a875 -"I was going through some of my old files and I found an article.....entitled, "Gifts All Year For Teachers".

New Freebies & Deals Here is a quick sampling of SOME of the offers that have just been added to the Free Things for Educators website. All of these offers were added on September 26th. After each offer, I have listed the Grade Level Page from the Free Things for Educators website where the offer can be found. (If no grade level is listed, it can be found on any of the grade level pages). The countries that each offer is available for are also listed. If no country is listed, the offer is available internationally (to the best of my knowledge). This week's freebies and deals include: - Free school tours at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, Washington. - Free sample of Fresh Sacks diaper disposal bags.

From the Classroom... This week's story was send in by Ava, a teacher in Ontario: "Our prinicipal tells the story about her first grade teaching experience with a parent at back to school night. Her child had asked Ms.Naylor for a new pencil and she pulled one out of her hair. It was the teacher's habit to keep extra pencils there. The parent confided in Ms. Naylor that her son said she had pencil sharpener in her hair." WE NEED YOUR STORIES! We all have had funny or heart-warming experiences with kids! Share them with us!
