Cool Book Swap
Posted by Diane Badden on 07 Dec 2012 | Posted in: Literature Connections, Student Activities, Teachers and Teaching
I ducked into a local school earlier this week, and the first thing I saw made me smile! Right there by the school office was a rolling cart of children’s books labeled “Take a Book; Leave a Book.” You’d need some book donations to get the idea rolling, but after that, I’m thinking this book-sharing [...]

Posted by Hope Spencer on 10 Apr 2009 | Posted in: Classroom Management, Student Activities, Teachers and Teaching
Some of my favorite times with kids have happened when we were on field trips. I have great memories of trips to the zoo, indoor rain forests, and one special boat ride in Galveston Bay. Why, one day, my students and I even had the opportunity to travel to the Johnson Space Center, where we met actual astronauts (and the Power Rangers!). But, when you think about it, taking your students off campus can be a scary proposition.
