The spring issue of Learning® magazine is hitting the mail. We’ve received our first printed copies, which means our readers will find the new issue in their mailboxes any day now, too.

I would like to request the free take-home learning materials for the “Look Out For Kids” program to use in my classroom. It sounds like something that our children will enjoy, and an area of safety I have not thought about before.
Thank you,
Jean Schultz
I would like to receive the free take home learning series for my pre-school kids. Especially the Look Out for Kids workbook as I do a unit on safety every fall. Thank you. Kathy Franson
