Here’s your chance to clean up—in more ways than one! I have free STEM resources and chances to win cash and more. I have books to win and a chance for you to get learning materials you’ve selected funded. How? Read on!
****************
First, submit a comment to the blog by 11:59 pm EDT Sunday, October 25, 2015, to tell me what are your favorites when you click on the contest and freebies below. From the comments, I’ll randomly select a teacher to win two books that are sure to fascinate! Spidermania: Friends on the Web debunks myths about spiders and uses electron micrograph photographs to take an extremely close look at them. Then help kids understand why living things are different and how we organize plants and animals into groups in the Essential Life Sciences book Variation and Classification. (Update: congratulations to Fran, who is the winner of our prize.)
********************************
Take a look around. Where’s the germiest place in your classroom? Now get ready 
to “STEM” the germs and teach the science behind handwashing with free resources that highlight the difference proper handwashing makes. Then enter to win $750 in classroom cash, an iPad mini, or a PURELL prize pack! Find it at TheMailbox.com/stemthegerms.

Purell! I thought those days were behind me when I moved from elementary to high school, but no such luck!
My favorite is ALL of them! I’m always looking for ideas and resources to build up our STEM program. Thanks for sharing!
I cannot choose just one. They’re all great!
Always looking for new STEM resources! These books look like great additions.
My students (even the girls) love spider books and this would make a great addition to my library.
We are into spiders and the Purell.
Variation and Classification sounds great!
I would love to win 30 copies of the same book for my whole class. Disney Publishing Worldwide is my favorite.
I’d love to win the set of Pigeon books for my class!
Gotta love the Pigeon!!!
Would love to win the purell and entered the disney princess.
Would love the books too.
I love bringing science into my day! The Purell activities are awesome!
Hello!
Your selection of book titles of books are marvelous.
Variation and classification would fit right in with out Science Standards. A class set of Lightening Thief’s books would interest all of my learners. Disney Publishing Worldwide is so generous.

Spidermania looks like a great Halloween read and Purell always keeps the creepy germs away
I love the Disney books and know these would be a great addition to my library. Of course, I love giveaways and would be tickled with any prize choice!
They really are wonderful books. Magnus Chase is all the rage at my house right now!
Disney’s contest looks great.
Heidi, we have a new blog post, just went up minutes ago. Take a look!
I would love to win the handwashing/germ offer! I teach a special education life skills classroom and we are getting ready to start a health unit, and go into the importance of brushing teeth, hygiene, and various other areas of interest.
I would love to win a set of books of Eleanor quiet no more and the Purrell prize, especially the prize pack and Ipad Mini!!
Lisa, I just posted a new blog. Take a look at that prize too!
Variation and Classification
Purell, it’s sniffle season right now. I could use some sanitizer in my classroom.
I like them all but the Disney books would help my kids in reading! Thanks!
My students would love the Eleanor class set! The iPad mini would be so helpful also!!
I would like to win the class set of 30 books.
