Special Spring Prizes for You

I’ve got a spring in my step; do you? The first day of spring has that effect!

How will you celebrate the start of spring? Submit a comment to our blog by Wednesday, April 4, to let us know. One lucky teacher will be randomly selected to win these special spring-themed prizes: the new book Spectacular Spring: All Kinds of Spring Facts and Fun from Henry Holt plus a set of Hello Nature Activity Cards from Laurence King Publishing. Both are packed with fun ideas to get you and your students inspired about the outdoors.

Of course this week’s freebies are super special, too. Check these out:

With Booktrack, your students can read and write stories with a soundtrack. This free program allows students to add music and audio, plus you can check out the lesson plan library. Visit info.booktrackclassroom.com/teachers.

 

Planet Nutshell features a free library of short animated videos on everything from long division to linear equations. Check out the math shorts and more at planetnutshell.com/education-library.

 

 

Ready to save a few dollars? Ready to clean out a few closets? Check out the Buy Nothing Project. Post anything you have to give away or ask for anything you’re in need of. It’s at buynothingproject.org.

 

 

I’ll be celebrating spring in the park. I have a brand new bouncy ball and I’m ready to use it!

Happy spring,

Karen
