My class will be reading the story the Gingerbread Man and doing a project with it. I am asking if anyone would mind assisting with this... if you would like to please email me at [email removed].
Project letter: My name is the Gingerbread Man, my friend in CLass 2H was reading a story about me and i jumped out of the storybook to visit you. My friend at school is wondering where I have run to. Please help them by sending them a picture postcard showing them the area where you live. This postcard will be posted on a large map of the world outside of my classroom. This will help the children by showing them how different parts of the world look. I know my friends will enjoy hearing from you and learning where I have run! Thank you for your help! Got to go! The Gingerbread Man

I am looking for Mike Cobelans who use to teach in Grand Island, NE about 7 years ago and then moved to Crete, Genoa or Geneva??? If you know how I can reach him I would appreciate it. We are contacting former teachers for a dedication ceremony for our new middle school. Thanks.
I would like to get me ESL endorsement. I prefer to do it online than at the university. Does anyone know of a online program for accreditation that they would recommend? Thank you for your help.

Not sure of any online universities, but I went to Wayne State College and completed my ESL endorsement last summer. It is a special endorsement -- 15 credits, 5 of them ESL and 6 in Intercultural Communication and Linguistics.
Since so many teachers who are already in the classroom find that this is a valuable endorsement to have, the school is very flexible about having classes hybrid online/face-to-face and on Saturdays for professionals.
Practicum is on your own, with visiting faculty to evaluate you. Like a mini student teaching.
Im curious. I was wondering what the omaha area is like, how are the people? Do they except diversity? What's the weather like? Any jobs , (including teaching of course) ? I'm thinking jobs outside of teaching for spouses and relatives. Cost of living etc? And what do teachers earn? Any good benefits?
Omaha is not expensive what-so-ever as compared to Denver where I lived during College. I've grown up in Omaha and it's by far the best city to live in. The only thing is that traffic can be kinda hectic at times.

Surprisingly many people aren't aware that there is any more to Nebraska than Omaha and Lincoln. My sister lives in Omaha and has met a lot of people that don't know that there is much else to Nebraska besides Omaha. As for teaching, she started in Omaha public and it is not a good situation. She is currently teaching in a private Catholic school and it is so much better.
The diversity is much like other larger cities in the country. Out here in the midwest is where the diversity is a little less evident.
I'd definitely scope out the situation before accepting a position. Good luck!
