  1. I love mailbox,it gives you so many new ideas to help with the children’s education. They are easy to follow and implement into your classroom. The children enjoy the recipes the most and it is so much fun to see their faces light up when they are done. Jill

  2. Skippyjon Jones is fun! I like to read the stories with an accent – the kids love it! Also, signed up for the Brain Quest giveaway – Thanks!

  3. I love all the contests this month – especially the Time Timer. I’ve never seen it and think it would be a great addition to my classroom. Thank you!

  4. As math specialist for our district, I am always looking for new books that have a mathematical theme to use with our younger students. Thank you for your offer.

  5. Our students need math-related books that connect their often-abstract math curriculum to their lives. Hurray for math resources!

  6. I entered the easi-speak USB recorder contest. As you said that is some technology every teacher can use. I have a large number of English Language learners this year and i thonk it would be great to have recodings to chart their progress as well as observational data. I also entered the Brain quest contest. I would love to get my students thinking more critically.

  7. There once was a teacher-shan’t call her by name!
    Who would do ANYTHING for a “freebie”! What a shame!
    For she WAS the best teacher in all the land
    Until she stood in line for “free” quick sand!
    Unfortunately, that freebie was the end of that dame!

    Sign me up for freebies “QUICK”ly!
