I am leading a Christmas card exchange with K-2 teachers from across our country (one from every state). I posted ads on ProTeacher.net and several teacher’s groups on yahoo. I am currently searching for teachers to fill the last openings. Your state is one of the states I am still searching for.
I am starting a Christmas card exchange. Fifty teachers (one from each state) will participate in this exchange. Teachers will be chosen simply by whoever responds first. I teach kindergarten, but I opening up the exchange to any classrooms in grades K-3.
Cards can be store bought or homemade. Inside your card please include a short letter about your school (name, grade level, school mascot, etc.) I am asking that all cards be mailed no later than Monday, December 6, 2010....that way all cards will arrive before the start date of most holiday breaks (ours is December 17th).
After I have a teacher for each state I will type the names/addresses for all fifty teachers onto a Microsoft Word label format so all you will have to do is print the labels and place them on your cards.
I was a participant on a Chicka Chicka letter exchange this fall and my students absolutely loved it. I would love to be able to complete a United States map with my students and surround it with cards.
Hoping this will be fun....
If you would like to do this.......
Please e-mail me with the following info: [email removed]

Does anyone know more about SPMS? Our district did not buy the program. I am wondering if teachers can purchase it for use in their classes if their district does not?
NBCT's, are you ready for renewal?

CSI: The Experience is patterned after the CBS television series, but takes students behind the yellow tape for a hands-on examination of the life of a real crime scene investigator. Three separate crime scenes are explored in the exhibit, providing clues and evidence to their solving.
The exhibit is funded by the National Science Foundation in partnership with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, CBS, and the Rice University Center for Technology in Teaching and Learning.

I heard there is a program to put our TST students in that will help with filling out the paperwork. I think it is called EZ Test Tracker? Any suggestions?

Dear MS Educators,
I am sure that adding an AFS student to your schools would assist your students with learning a new culture and language. Naturally, encouraging them to go on an AFS exchange is even better. Contact [link removed].

NIAGARA UNIVERSITY, N.Y. (Feb, 2011) – Niagara University is now accepting applications from K-12 teachers nationwide for a summer program entitled Crossroads of Empire: Cultural Contact and Imperial Rivalry at Old Fort Niagara. The week-long residential sessions, which take place July 11-15 and July 18-22, 2011 at Old Fort Niagara and Niagara University, have been made possible by funding obtained from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Directed by Thomas A. Chambers, Ph.D., chair of Niagara University’s history department, the workshops are focused on the vital history that emanated from Old Fort Niagara, one of most significant and well-preserved 18th century historic sites in North America. Fort Niagara served as an important crossroads between the empires of Great Britain, France, the Haudenosaunee (the native people who inhabited what is now much of New York state and surrounding areas), and, later, the United States as they battled each other for control of the North American continent. The Fort threatened American territory during the Revolution, was occupied by both sides during the War of 1812, and then a peace treaty secured the Fort and region for the United States.
This workshop will immerse NEH Summer Scholars in the world of 18th century life, from both the Native American and European perspective. Participants will interact with historic interpreters, clamber about ramparts dating to the 1700s, handle beaver pelts and trade goods like fishhooks and beads, and perhaps even fire a musket. One unique feature will be an overnight stay at the French Castle, the three-story stone fortress and trading post perched above the crashing waves of Lake Ontario that dates back to 1726. By week’s end NEH Summer Scholars will understand the perspective of the Iroquois people who first inhabited this region, as well as the struggles of ordinary European soldiers who bled and died to control Fort Niagara.
Teachers of grades K-12 at schools in the United States or its territorial possessions, or Americans teaching in foreign schools where at least 50 percent of the students are American nationals, are eligible for this program.
Teachers selected to participate as NEH Summer Scholars will receive a stipend of $1,200 at the end of the residential workshop session. Stipends are intended to help cover travel expenses to and from the project location, books, and ordinary living expenses.
The deadline for applications is March 1, 2011.
For eligibility and application information, please call 716.286.8091, e-mail [email removed].
Niagara University is located 11 miles south of Old Fort Niagara.
