Thanks so much for your assistance. Hope that you have many students who are interested. Have an AFS (awesome, fantastic and stupendous) day.
I have an idea to do in school educational programs that introduce/reinforce core content for elementary level that is fun and engaging. Is this something that teachers would be interested in? I don't want to put a lot of time into something that is not useful.
Kentucky teachers, this is your place to network with your fellow teachers across the state. Introduce yourself and meet new friends. Make yourself at home...!

I will be trying to get my folders ready for my parents and students. I am busy buying school supplies real cheap.
I joined a postcard exchange and we are still short a few states. If you are interested, here is the explanation from the project leader and a URL to her site for more information.
Here's a public invitation for application to the IndiVisual/Hewlett-Packard 'Read for Life' scholarship. I feel this is important to share with the public and hopeful you will help the spread the word with teachers and schools administrators about this great scholarship opportunity to help struggling readers.
The 'Read for Life' scholarship consists of a wireless mobile reading lab complete with 5 Hewlett-Packard laptop PCs complete and 3 years unlimited student-use of IndiVisual Reading ($25,000 value). Another plus with this scholarship is the fact that Dr. John Manning, a former president of the International Reading Association, is the author/advisor behind the IndiVisual Reading program. The scholarship is available to any public, private, parochial or charter school within the United States.
