Dear Family :)
I am 27 years old Mexican girl. fluent in English and
Spanish. I am on active search for Live-in nanny
position .The sooner the better though. I have nannying and
babysitting experience with families who can provide
excellent references. I have experience working with
infants through school age. I am no stranger to busy
schedules, play dates, diaper changing, bath-time, cooking,
laundry, light cleaning, and errands. I am very
responsible, and hard-working, fun-loving, sweet like ice
cream, respectful, patient, . I love traveling and all
outdoors activities so I don't think kids should be plunked
in front of the TV when there is a whole world out there to
explore, museums, the beach, parks, playgrounds, etc.
Kind regards,

Specifically, I created a survey regarding the role of
virtual manipulatives in today's mathematics classroom. I
am in the process of distributing this survey to as many
mathematics teachers as possible. Your help would be
greatly appreciated. Below is a direct link to the survey:

PLEASE forward this e-mail on to any teachers you know who
are currently teaching mathematics-- elementary, middle,
or high school. With your help, I hope to receive results
from all over the country.
Any help you can provide in publicizing this survey is
greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Hello everyone,
Over the last year or two I recall several people posting
on T-Net about their
experiences with the internet-based program, Headsprout
Early Reading.
In fact I think I was one of them -- we tried the free
scholarships at my
school two years ago, with outstanding results, and
followed that up by
purchasing accounts for a number of high-needs kids in
Grade 1 plus some
ELL kids in Grades 2 and 3 last year. Again, Headsprout
proved to be a
tremendous catalyst to the kids' reading -- not only their
skills, but
(most important in the long run), their enthusiasm about
reading and their
self-perception as good readers. Even the most struggling
kids made a
lot of progress and LOVED to read -- they took home books
every night and
there was lots of book-sharing and book-talk in the
classroom. One of
our teachers remarked that this was the first year that
every single
child was enthusiastic and really pumped up about
reading .
Of course she
is a very skilled teacher herself, but she attributed the
palpable shift
to the effect Headsprout had on the (previously) "low-
performing" kids.
It's an excellent supplementary program but I'm a theme-
oriented person
myself and like to integrate stuff. I can see lots of
potential to tie in
other reading and language activities (also science and
social studies)
with some of the Headsprout characters and backgrounds --
more thematic
expansion about ocean life, the coral reef, rain forests,
habitats &
communities,.... writing activities.... I am never short
of
ideas but I
would be a lot more productive in getting them on paper
and
organized if I
had others to share ideas with. So far I am the only one
in
my district
using Headsprout and I don't know of people elsewhere,
either, but I know
they are out there.
So, I have started a Yahoo group for teachers using
Headsprout, hoping we
can get enough folks to subscribe, trouble-shoot and swap
ideas to be a
support system for one another and also share materials
and
ideas we
develop. I made up little letter tiles for word-building
(a
la Isabel
Beck's new book -- a good one if you haven't seen it), a
kind of tracking
log to monitor kids' reading the "episode stories" (place
for
observations), and have some printing activities and games
I have
developed but not uploaded yet. If others were interested
it would
galvanize me into going farther with the themes idea and
actually organize
it -- need input from other people, though.
It would also be great to swap ideas on how to solve some
of the practical
issues, like timetabling and progress monitoring, that
come
up along the
way.
So, if you are using Headsprout, please go here:

This is always a busy time of year but the kids are
already
excited about
reading, so I am excited too.

The Stephen Decatur House Museum, a National Trust
Historic Site, seeks a Master Teacher for its upcoming
teacher workshops, Race and Place: African Americans in
Washington, DC from 1800-1954. The workshops are funded
through the National Endowment for the Humanities
Landmarks of American History and Culture: Workshops for
School Teachers initiative. The Race and Place workshops
will promote thoughtful investigations of four crucial
periods in American history—pre-Civil War, Civil War,
Reconstruction, and Segregation—through the lens of the
experiences of African Americans in the District of
Columbia. In two sessions, each for fifty K-12 educators
from around the country, Race and Place will explore
African American experiences in the nation’s capital
through visits to historic landmarks, lectures by
nationally known scholars, and pedagogical resource
sessions, and collaborative curriculum project development
The goal of the Race and Place workshops is to create a
collaborative learning community in which educators will
explore the relationship between race and place through
visits to landmarks with both local and national
significance, discover connections between events in each
of the four historical periods, gain new perspectives and
resources for the important task of teaching American
history, and freely exchange ideas and best practices.
In the Race and Place workshops, the Master Teacher will
be responsible for leading sessions on curricular best
practices. The Master Teacher will also supervise and
facilitate the development of curriculum projects by
workshop participants.
The Master Teacher will possess at least a Masters Degree
in education and current certifications in history/social
sciences. The Master Teacher must have 4 years or more of
teaching experience, documented success as an educator,
and knowledge of National Standards and current
educational best practices. The Master Teacher must have
the ability to act as a mentor to other educators and be
supportive of the incorporation of historic places and
primary sources into the classroom. The Master Teacher
must have knowledge and skills in general and specialized
uses of instructional technology in educational settings.
The Master Teacher should be committed to diversity within
the history/social science curriculum and to the
achievement of the workshop’s goals. The Master Teacher
must possess excellent written and oral communication
skills and the ability to work as part of a team. It is
highly preferable that the candidate have received Master
Teacher certification from the American Board for
Certification of Teaching Excellence.
Compensation will be $5000 and the Master Teacher must be
in Washington, DC from
July 6-13 and July 20-28, as well as be able to
participate in meetings during the winter and spring of
2007. Interested applicants should send a cover letter,
CV, and references to:
