Is anyone in Seattle interested in forming a study group devoted to the work of E.D Hirsch? I would very much like to discuss his ideas with someone, and currently don't know anyone who has read his books. I don't accept his ideas uncritically, but do agree with the general thrust of his work. I really want to talk with others about his work, and the work of scholars associated with him.

(The Dana Center in Texas is re-writing Washington State math standards and they are basing them on 'constructive' math.) I am forced to use Everyday Math and it falls short in every category.
Are there any teachers in Seattle who would like to discuss a more traditional alternative to teaching English? I am interested in talking with someone who believes in teaching grammar, and who believes that the content of literature is what is most important, rather than a list of skills for the WASL. Writers who have guided my thinking include E.D. Hirsch and Diane Ravitch. If there is anyone out there who feels isolated and would like to discuss these ideas, please write!
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'm a New Jersey teacher (with my masters) that has fallen in love with Seattle over a few visits. I'm in my 3rd year of teaching, I teach 4-6 Science with a 6th grade homeroom.
I'm toying with the thought of taking the plunge and moving west. The job market sounds as competitive/saturated as Jersey does. With experience, and Science under my belt I was hoping to hear some positive feedback and input.
Hey! I have heard that in the next couple years around 1/3 of the teachers are retiring in WA. I am special education certified and I am wondering if there is need for SPED teachers in WA? I am looking to move there and I would like to know the teaching demand in that field for the Seattle area. Thanks!
There will always be a need to special ed teachers, but be warned: you have to jump through some rediculous hoops to get certified in WA when you have previously taught out-of-state. Start the process NOW. I lost a lot of time and money when I moved here because I was not certified. You'll need to get the paperwork from OSPI, but call the local WA ESD office to get the directions on what to do with the paperwork. I held my paperwork for two months because the directions that came with it said that I had to hand it in personally, but when I got here I was told I could have mailed it and saved myself the time. The paperwork also recommended getting fingerprinted in my home state, but the ESD office wouldn't accept out-of-state fingerprints. Ask about that, too.
Good luck!

Found a fantastic new chapter-book series for ages 7-9 that the kids in my class are thrilled about. It's called the Incredible Journey Books and it has fast-paced worldly adventures filled with geography facts. The plots are interesting and the series has done the trick to get my third-grade class interested in exploring the world map. The books have a great site that has an Africa unit along with puzzles to go with each book. Go to [link removed].
