Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a

Public education in Texas is in BIG trouble! We have a
politician in Austin who is from Arlington, and is the
head of the education committee. His name is Kent
Grusendorf anf he hates teachers! He blames teachers for
his son's suicide, and has been punishing teachers since
he was elected. If he gets re-elected, we will lose our
continuing contracts. We'll also lose our 22-1 class cap
for K-3, and our 30-minute duty-free lunch (I never knew
those existed until I came to Texas!) He supports
vouchers, which as we all know takes money from public
education. There is a lady running against him this year
who has a good chance of defeating him. Her name is Diane
Patrick. Early voting for this primary election is Feb
21 - March 3, and the regular election is March 7. We
have it on good authority that he plans to initiate a
nasty smear campaign against her just prior to the
primary. Those of us who care about our children are
asking that voters who live in District 94 call, write, or
email their friends and family to ask them to vote for
Diane Patrick. We're even asking those dyed-in-the-wool,
straight-Democrat-ticket voters to, JUST THIS ONCE, to
vote in the primary, vote early, and vote for Diane
Patrick. If you have friends or family in the Arlington,
Texas, area please forward this email to them and ask them
to help us defeat Kent Grusendorf. Thanks, and have a
great rest-of-the-year!

Hello. What are the hiring trends in the mid-sized
cities in WY (like Sheridan/ Gillette area) ? Are they
more likely to hire subs or in-state people? (college
recruiting) Are "out-of-towners" frowned upon? Just
want to hear your thoughts. Thx-- Rena

Here is a fun writing project for your students next year.
Have them participate in our 50-State Postcard Exchange.
What's great about this exchange is that the teachers are
all positive and involved in this project, so the odds are
quite high that you will receive over 50 postcards in late
September - one from each state, plus one from Canada,
Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
I choose one teacher for each state. We have had a great
response rate with the prior postcard exchanges we have
had.
We are now in our 5th Year! This would be the ideal time to
sign up for our September 25th mailing date, as we have
only one state still available:
Wyoming
If you don’t see your state listed here, then it is not
available.
If you want to join, and you teach in Wyoming, please email
me: [email removed]
If you are in our exchange, you can request that I email
you everyone's address so your students can address the
postcards, or if you prefer, I will mail labels of the
mailing addresses for the other teachers involved - no cost
to you! All you have to do is have your students bring in
postcards from your state and mail one postcard to each
teacher in our exchange.
Besides having this be a great Social Studies project, you
can make it a Language Arts project too, and the students
can write a short note about their state. Most teachers use
a store-bought card and copy a message onto each card. Some
teachers make a homemade card and copy the message for each
card. Whatever you want to do is up to you!
We will all mail the postcards out on Sept. 25th, and in a
few weeks after that you will receive a postcard from each
of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and
Canada.
I hope you can join us! You can reach me at

He wants to travel across the country meeting children

from EACH OF THE 50 STATES! (This project combines a
traveling buddy and a 50 state postcard exchange)
TO LEARN MORE…
[link removed].
Ollie will travel around the country. He will have time
to visit each class for ONE DAY ONLY. If he stayed
longer, and it took him a week to get to the next state,
it would end up taking almost a full year for his journey
(remember, there are 50 states and 52 weeks in a year)!!
We want to hurry him along on his journey so that
he is able to make a full trip around the United States
before school lets out for summer (many let out in May).
Each class will send a postcard to the other classes to
let them know that Ollie has arrived safely. We can learn
more about your area if you also include other information
about your state.
Please also send 1-2 paragraphs by email describing what
your class did with Ollie. Include digital pictures
and/or links to your classroom or school web pages! I
will add this to his online travel journal, so all classes
can keep track of his travels!

I think your friend needs to see some counseling assistance
from outside the school. If the child is being bullied he
will need emotional support. Finding a good psychologist to
evaluate the child for emotional impact of the bullying will
help him and the parents to understand how he may have
become a vi...See More
