The first project to take place is our leaf exchange project. In a nutshell, you will choose a preapproved tree to pick leaves from. You will press them and glue them onto cardstock 6x6ish paper. You will label the tree name and state it came from. On the back you can (optional) tell some facts about this specific tree and a little about your classroom. I'm hoping to get at least thirty participants from around the US to join this exchange. This will take place in October 2010. I will include examples of what you can do with your leaves when you get them and how you can connect this project to your state standards.
The other project I have going is the postcard exchange project. I still need one elem. teacher to represent CT. You will need to get or make at least 49 postcards to send to the remaining states in the US. (Not sure if I can get a few other countries to participate yet or not.)
I will include ideas for this project that you can use in your classroom if you so choose. Details will be coming as to what you write, etc...

Good morning, I am an Art teacher in Monroe, Ct. I love teaching the arts to my students, grades K-6th. I have many years of wonderful stories with my students. The most life changing for me was last year, one of my students went into full cardiac arrest, ( I am also a trained EMT) I was teaching a class and the next thing I was doing was full CPR, AED, inserting an airway and with the help of two other teachers, we saved her LIVE! From that experience, our school is now 100% CPR trained. Aren't teachers amazing! She returned to school a few weeks later and is one of my many student again this year ! I also love Martha Stewart and would absolutely love to meet her. I have created so many things over the years through her influence. Teachers make such a huge difference in childrens lives in so many ways ! Thank you, Alice Pulliam
I just graduated from the University of Bridgeport with a 3.9 GPA. I have finished all of my requirements and my certification is in progress. I just spent the last two years student teaching and substituting in the New Canaan Public School system. Most of my experience lies in k-2. I have knowledge of the benchmarks and standards for Kindergarten students. I have a science/nature background and love to incorporate it into lessons. My undergraduate degree was Environmental Studies with a concentration in Environmental Education i.e. how to incorporate nature education into the everyday classroom. Please let me know if you would like more information from and about me! Hope to hear from you soon.

I have taken the Chemistry Praxis test several times, and have not been successful in passing it, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get study materials or anything?

I have just published my first children's book, and using my talents as a Reading Specialist have developed interdisciplinary activities, as well as before, during, and after reading activities for the classroom. There are vocabulary activities and opportunities for your students to write to me about the book and its characters. I am glad to respond to those letters at your request. A physical disability permits me from teaching in the classroom anymore, so I am reaching out to students this way. The main goal of this book is also the part of my job I miss the most: instilling a love of reading and learning in each student. I can visit your classroom by Skype, if you wish, and our website is about to go online. There, you will be able to access the acitivities I spoke of earlier. The obok is called Harley Hits a Homer, and I am so pleased with the positive way it is being received in the classrooms where it is being used. I'd love to hear from you if you think we could work together on this project. I'd love to hear from your classes and to interact with them. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Let's keep them reading, Tena

The American Turkish Society's Education Program is pleased to announce the availability of Curriculum Development Grants for 2011.
The program, which was initiated by The Society in the spring of 2010, offers funds to elementary and secondary school teachers to develop innovative curricula, projects and other classroom activities about Turkey. The Society’s first Curriculum Development Grant was awarded to Harry A. Dawe, former Headmaster of Robert College in Istanbul and current history teacher and college counselor at the Fieldston Upper School in Bronx, New York. Mr. Dawe received support for History 181: East Meets West, for which he developed course material and two chapters of a history text book for use with eleventh and twelfth graders.
Grants vary between $250 and $2,500, and cover the costs of research, materials, speakers, and other expenses incurred by the school or the teacher. The amount of each grant is determined by the project’s scope, the availability of total funds, and the number of projects selected through a competitive process. The American Turkish Society encourages all applicants to identify additional sources of funding where possible. Once selected, grantees will be free to develop their proposed projects without editorial input from The Society. They will, however, participate in follow-up activities for evaluation purposes and will be asked to share any teaching plans, materials and activities with The American Turkish Society for future dissemination.
Application Process: Spring Semester, 2011
Application deadline: November 1 Notification: December 1
Please submit proposals including:
1. A 2-page summary of the proposed project detailing the tools, materials, and methods to be used; the objectives and anticipated impact; and the teacher's relevant qualifications; 2. A project budget, including a detailed breakdown of costs and the grant amount requested; 3. The teacher’s CV; and 4. A letter of support from the teacher’s school.
Interested parties should send proposals to The American Turkish Society at [email removed].
For questions and additional information, please email [email removed].

The warning signs are there. Will voters be smart enough to avoid putting another shifty, crooked man who is just like John Rowland in office? Tom Foley is shifty and crooked.
