Election news is all around, so here’s a way to make it meaningful for your students. In the Meet Me in DC contest, students are invited to design an election poster that highlights important community issues. Two students—one for grades K–5 and one for grades 6–12—will win a trip for two to Washington, DC. They’ll see Congress in session, tour the White House, visit the set of PBS NewsHour, and more. But hurry, entries are due March 31, 2016. Click here for details.

  1. The Hero Two Doors Down, would be a wonderful and inspirational book to add to our library. The students enjoy reading about heroes and what better way than through a sports hero. Thank you for sharing.

  2. The Big Word Club is the resource that will be most useful in my classroom. I work with my students daily on vocabulary development.

  3. Would love to have “The Hero Two Doors Down” in my collection. It was in our school book fair but sold out quickly.

  4. The Big Word Club is a great resource for my students.The Hero Two Doors Down sounds like a book my students would really enjoy.

  5. The Hero Two Doors Down is a book I think my students would enjoy with Spring Training in session now and Opening Day coming soon. I also like the book because it would be something the students would like in my classroom especially for the boys.

  6. The big word club sounds great. You can never have enough words in your vocabulary. You never know when you might need them for reading, spelling, or stumping your friends, family, or even teachers.

  7. The Hero Two Doors Down would be a great addition to my library! Also the Big word club sounds like a great program!
