I like the National Geographic Kids information. Thank you.
I like all the information. I always get such good information from you.
I have always loved National Geographic(both in the classroom and out!) How you all, as a corporation, have brought the world to us in fun, exciting, and stimulating ways, is an absolute gift in this ever-expanding, changing, and deteriorating environment in our world that we NOW must adjust to…or not be of any assistance to our students at ALL!
I have always enjoyed reading(and looking at your beautiful photography). I read it home and at school. I get ideas for lessons in each issue that I put a post-it reminder of listed resouces within the magazine, and use year after year.
Love National Geographic Kids! This poster will be a hit in my classroom! Thanks!
I love all of the freebies and contests.
The resources from Responsive Classroom are valuable to a beginning teacher as well as the veteran teacher. I get the free newsletters and read through them for tips and ideas.
I love the Sesame Street field trip.
Love Love Where is Waldo.
National Geographic for sure. Always cool and interesting stuff in them.
I will also check into the responsive classroom. Sounds cool.
Thanks again for the wonderful resources.
I would like to see the video information from Responsive Classroom. It is so nice that the internet has offered us so many possibilities. Thank you for sharing so many that are available.
We love Waldo in second grade!
Thank you very much.
Look forward to the free rocks poster.
My son (now 6) has enjoyed Waldo books since he was 2. He will sit in the car and look at those books for hours. He’s not only looking for Waldo (which he found a long time ago, of course), but enjoys all the other scenes and nuances that the illustrator includes in every spread. We have every copy of every book we can find. He still stares at those books today!
Waldo is great for any age. I have taught different elementary grades and always refer to Waldo in one way or another!
The free National Geographics poster looks great!
I LOVED the Waldo books growing up! My son enjoys it now too!
I like the information for the Responsive Classroom. Thanks for keeping us informed.
I liked the information on National Geographic. These type of resources are always a hit with students.

You can’t go wrong with National Geographic.
I love anything from National Geographic.
I have loved National Geographic since I was a kid!
national geographic is a great magazine!!!
Great Poster!
Where’s Waldo!
National Geographic is always great.
I remember my grandmother giving my oldest son “Where’s Waldo” books as a Birthday gift (he’s 27). Now his little brother still loves them (he’s 11)!
Where’s Waldo!
Love National Geographic!!
I love ‘Where’s Waldo’?
National Geographic! (Where’s Waldo would be a close second)
I remember doing books similar to this with my son when he was small. Now there’s lots of computer games that require us to look for hidden objects–but none that build the personal bond between parent and child like snuggling together with the book.
I love the free resources listed on the bottom right corner of didax.com. Very Helpful!
The National Geographic information was great.
I liked the Common core cards
The rocks, I have several students that would love that!
Very cool! Thanks!
