I would love to win!
Thanks for the information about the Walmart registry.
Imlike the Elmer’s Glue sweepstakes!
Elmers is my favorite.
never have enough good Black History titles
Elmers glue is the best
Finding videos to help with connections is always a challenge. Expresso Elementary is sure to help with that.
Read to feed sounds interesting.
I would use it with my students.
Loved to see books about Black History!
I love the information you included on the walmart registry. This is great to share with parents.
I’m going to look into the green school information (the grant).
I liked hearing about the Read to Feed program
Read to feed, cool!
My favorite freebie is the Harlem’s Little Blackbird book! The Read to Feed Program seems really cool aswell
I love the espresso elementary and the Elmers. Thanks
The Read to Feed is a great program. I love it! I have rec’d the printed kit and it is chocked full of great lessons that teach students to have compassion for others. The expresso elementary is one I am most interested in. With all that teachers are responsible for, having a tech resource to go to in a flash would be a lifesaver and a huge timesaver. I will be signing up for the free trial.
My favorite would be the Harlem’s Little Blackboard book to share with my class. I’m always on the lookout for good books.
I love the Expresso Elementary Resources especially the teacher resources for learning the Alphabet. I love that they use real life pictures.
I also love the idea of entering the Global Green USA contest. Our school could use the funds to watch us go green.
