Help with Back to School Theme Please!

by Not again!

Jul 15, 2011

My school's theme for back to school is "Wild about Learning." I love the theme, but I did this last year and would like to do something different. Last year's slant was on "wild animals"... Anyone have a different take on this theme I could take on this so I can have a little fun with it?

I'd appreciate any help you can give me!

by Kristy

Jul 22, 2011

I'm starting an either an postcard exchange program or a pen pal program. We live in Texas and 4th graders are required to do to the Writing TAKS which is a standardized test. I wanted to get the kids prepared so writing other students will give them a great start. Thanks
