A Doozy of a Day!
Posted by Diane Badden on 30 Jul 2010 | Posted in: Drawings and Giveaways, The Mailbox, The Mailbox Books
Guess what I did yesterday! I took part in a vendor day for teachers. An estimated 400 enthusiastic teachers gathered at a popular school-supply store in Covington, Kentucky, to check out the latest in educational offerings and to meet their favorite vendors. I’m pretty sure I chatted with all 400 teachers. It was absolutely the best time ever. One hundred percent engaging and fun!
Whoever came up with the idea of a vendor day was one smart cookie, don’t you think? I sure do! After all, a vendor day is a win for all parties involved. It brings customers into the store. Teachers receive freebies and discounts. And the vendors get to mingle with the folks they are ultimately trying to help out. In our case, that’s you!
So here’s my brainstorm. Let’s have a vendolog—a blog-centered vendor celebration! Here’s how it works: post a comment or suggestion you’d like to share about The Mailbox books, magazines, or online offerings. It could be something you really like, something new you’d like to see, or a suggestion you have for improvement. I’ll do my best to answer questions too. All posts made before the end of August 1 will be entered in a drawing for a $20 gift certificate from The Mailbox. We’ll have at least two winners—maybe more!
Hoping for a doozy of a vendolog!
Diane
Congratulations to our winners–Cathy M., Jodi, Cindi, and Glenda!

I am quite new to The Mailbox, but I already like what it has to offer. My one big request would be for more materials aimed at those children who struggle with conventional learning methods..for instance, those on the Autism scale, or those who have physical difficulties with pencil grasp….when attempting to teach these children at grade level it can be a real challenge, and any help would be very much appreciated (maybe there could be alternatives suggested at the end of the printed learning activity to accomodate special needs children?)
Thank you
Hi! What I would love to see more are activities/ideas for the six grade. The 4-6 rating is too broad and not always appropriate for sixth grade. However, I do get inspiration from your articles in your magazine.
