lease check out my website and let me know what you think. I am trying to create a clearinghouse of standards- based free lessons, handbooks, workbooks, remediation, gifted and other instructional material for teachers to use.
Please consider this fun and easy project for some educational holiday excitement! Your class will send out 49 cards and you will receive 49 in return. You can track the states on a map - I have a large on in the hallway that we color in and display the cards. I also give the kids their own states map to fill in. It is so exciting to see the mail comes from each day! I ask each child to bring in 2 stamps, or maybe your school office will cover it. In about 10 minutes of class time, each student can make/write out 2-3 cards. Older kids can address the envelopes, for younger kids - labels, parent volunteers, aids, or study buddies can help. I can answer any other questions you may have. If you have never tries this kind of exchange, please consider it. It really is fun, and is very easy to manage. I am hoping to have all the states by the end of October.

I am interested in a job I accessed on a public school districts web site. However, the listing is for a Title I teacher and the location is at a Catholic school in the area. I am wondering if the public district is providing the Title I services to the school? I have not ever seen a private school designated as Title I.
Anyway, I would like to apply for the position, but not sure if I should send the application to the superintendent of the public district or the principal of the school...I am planning on sending to both, just wondered if anyone could clarify what is could be going on here as I am very curious!
She ...See MoreI used to work at a Catholic school that had a title 1 teacher. She was employed by the local public school system.
She gave extra help to students whose neighborhood public school was title 1 and was low on skills in reading and/or math. the student did not have to be low income, just live in a neighborhood that had title 1.
She taught right in our building and brought materials provided by title 1 funds.
Another possibility is a charter. In my district, there are two charters which share campuses with existing private/Christian schools that had more space than they needed. I tutor at one, and there are literally classrooms of the same grade for both schools next to each other and using the same shared space at different times during the day. At least here, charter teaching applications are vetted through the public schools first, and then the principals interview the candidates they want to consider.
I am looking for suggestions on how to draw out Catholic themes in junior high literature, as well as ask the titles of some of the best pieces of literature for this purpose.

You could make up your own list of saints and make a litany and have each child illustrate one of the saints and then hold up the picture as the saints name is called while you and the class pray the litany.

2. You can find lists of SAT words online or purchase box sets of SAT vocab cards. You could have those for her to work from. I paid about $12 for a box set and got it at Barnes and Noble.
3. Have her go farther with the regular list of spelling words (look up word origins, write a story using all the words (which you would then check for usage, spelling of entire story, etc.)
You might also find some great resources on the internet. Good luck.
