Freebies and Contests: It’s March Madness Around Here!
Posted by Karen on 24 Mar 2010 | Posted in: Contests, Freebies, Grants, HarperCollins, Honeywell, Penguin, SunWise, US Mint
I wish we had room on our blog to feature the Sweet 16 of freebies, contests, and other goodies, but it looks like instead we’ll have to go with the Final Four. Keep reading our blog, though; there’s more good stuff to come!

 As the weather warms, now’s the time to teach students the importance of sun safety. Students in grades K-8 are invited to enter the the 2010 SunWise with SHADE poster contest. Get all the details at www.shadefoundation.org. Hurry, contest entries are due April 7, 2010! |

 Get a big dose of springtime cheer with Jan Brett’s The Easter Egg Sweepstakes! You’ll have a chance to win a one-of-a-kind Easter egg designed and hand-painted by Jan Brett or a set of three of Jan’s books. Entries must be postmarked by April 8, 2010. For more information, click here! |

 Drop Everything and Read Day is Monday, April 12. Get everything you need to prepare—activities, flyers, certificates, reproducibles, and much more—at www.dropeverythingandread.com. Plus enter to win $250 for your library. Twenty-five libraries will win! |

 Have you seen the new materials available from the U.S. Mint? You’ll find free games, gadgets, web quests, lesson plans, and more. Cash in on these great resources and others at www.usmint.gov/kids/teachers. |

And speaking of the Final Four, post a comment on our blog by Monday, March 29, 2010—I’ll send one winner four of my favorite books that I’ve received this week. (Who knows? If I get carried away, it might even be the Elite Eight.) Post your comment today!

Thanks for all the information and links to fun ideas and contests for my classroom.
I really like your blog. I do family child care and it is really hard to afford to buy things for the day care in this economy. I have given a lot of providers your blog information. Susan
Love all of your tips & ideas. This is my first year as an Elementary School Librarian so I can use all the help I can get. Can’t wait to start advertising for D.E.A.R. Day!! Should be FUN!!!
