Let’s talk free. I’ve got free curriculums (or curricula, if that’s how you prefer to say it), a free Peanuts poster, and free teaching resources to help animals and the community. There’s more—I have chances to win books and cash! What do you have to do? Read on and get ready to comment and click!

First, submit a comment to the blog by 11:59 pm EDT Sunday, October 11, 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 a book and a set that are perfect for October! Take a journey with Jack in The Perfect Tree as he searches for a tree to chop but finds one to love instead. (The fall connection? Illustrations show autumn and winter colors and hidden treasures of berries and acorns.) Then you’ll be ready for fire prevention with a visit with a fire engine in I’m Brave! I’ve got the book, CD, and DVD for you. (Update: congratulations to Kim, who is the winner of our prize.)

This free poster is too cute to miss and packs a wallop of reading inspiration! With the new The Peanuts Movie hitting the big screen in about a month, it’s a perfect resource to extend learning and engage your students. Click here to download it. You’ll also be able to print questions and activities covering friendship, imagination, and more. Plus you’ll get book and DVD tie-ins to keep your students reading and learning.
