I would love to have the book and cards for President”s Day. They are awesome.
I would love to use the book and cards for President’s Day. They would be a great resource for the holiday.
Love the PEZ offer. I have loved PEZ.
I have a huge pez dispenser collection, but never had any presidents. That would be the best.
I would love to use these resources with my 4th grade students.
I would love to win the presidents pack for my fourth graders!
Those pez dispensers are such a great idea!
The Pez would be something new and fun for most of my kindergarteners AND the $100 cash; so many possibilities!! 😉
I like all them, but the $100 would sure be useful for classroom supplies! The BrainQuest are great, too!
What a great resource to have in a classroom for President’s Day!
The Presidents pack would be a welcome addition the elementary library.
I use ABC Mouse.com with my students. They love it.
Mentoring Minds Critical Thinking Skills wheels help students organize their thoughts. great products
the Elmer’s Teachers club has some great resources
I appreciated the Smile Train information. Our students try to do goodwill projects every so often
Hail to our CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love you!
I am a student teacher and graduate in May. All these supplies would be so helpful for me to start off my classroom! Love the President items and PEZ is the best! 🙂 Thanks!
Great offerings! I especially like The Whitehouse For Kids book.
Would love any of these but especially the White House Kids book and the brainquest set as I have been out of the classroom for 6 years and now am back in and need more current books and materials!
Always love new non-fiction, and my kids love competing with Brainquest.
I love access to new resources. I’m going to check out the ABCmouse.com to share with our early elementary teachers. The Smile Train will be good to share with some of of older kids too. Thanks for bringing these to our attention!
Love mentoring minds products.
I liked the smile train information
