  1. ST Math is fabulous! We have the whole program at my school for the second through fifth grade children. We have a very strong group of proficient and advanced students on the STAR assesment. I signed up for a couple of social science activities. I am going to receive Pennies for thE planet.

  2. I am going to check out pennies for the planet. The watermelon site is great. I picked up lots of great idea’s there.

  3. It’s hard to decide between Social Studies and Pennies for the Planet but I think I’ss go with Pennies for the Planet. My students love animals and learning about them. It would be great to teach them that they can play a small role in helping protect them.

  4. We’d LOVE Pennies for the Planet..or Story Squares! Both would be so beneficial to our curriculum areas of Science and Language Arts. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed!!

  5. Love the Ripley’s- thought I’d never print another coloring page, but I know better now! ST Math games looks great too, especially since I have so many visual learners. Next stop, GoFarmersEd.com!
