Do you have an idea for The Mailbox magazine? Of course you do! In fact, I’m quite certain that you have several great ideas that could help other teachers be successful in their classrooms. So why not submit those ideas? Heck, we’ll even pay you for them! Yes sirree, for each idea we accept for publication, we’ll send you a $20 gift certificate that you can use to shop at TheMailbox.com!
Here’s what you do:
- Choose a grade level: Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grades 2-3, Intermediate.
- Read the idea requests from The Mailbox editor who greets you.
- Click “Submit an idea” and fill out the form to share your idea.
You’ll also want to visit Becky at The Mailbox Books. Why? Because Becky just posted a list of 23 idea requests. Holy cow! Answer each request and you could earn a wad of The Mailbox certificates to spend on magazine subscriptions, super-duper resource books, and more. Trust me, this is something you must do!
Looking out for my pals,

This project earned a “Best in Show” ribbon at our North Dakota State Fair…(actually 2 of my students have won this award in different years.)
Mix: Karo syrup, water, funky food color, baking soda, baking powder, dry oatmeal flakes, tea flakes, and cornmeal. Students draw “make believe creatures” or monsters or aliens with oil pastels and then paint in with the above paint concoction. (The baking soda and baking powder take the “drippiness” and stickiness out of the karo syrup yet gives the paint a little shine. The oatmeal, tea and cornmeal add texture!) Give students many colors to choose from so have plenty of tubs with lids to store! Very fun project!
Does anyone know where I can get some cards that have pictures on them to use for beginning middle and end sounds??
