A good article. Sometimes, it's a struggle to know what to do about a situation that occurred when you weren't around. This article gives a proactive approach.

This is a great website for nutrition and healthy living and eating. Pre-K 3 loves the game "Smash Your Food"! We use this to talk about healthy foods vs. "sometimes foods" and why. There are some really great games and activities that allow kids to plan out healthy meals in a fun way (like "Blast Off"). The printable materials are excellent, too ("10 Tips"). :-)

Our class will be going to the Intrepid in May for our field trip so this has been a great site for me to revisit. This site also serves to wet the appetite for the kids for the trip and I am able to discuss the expectations we have for them. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City is the only museum where visitors can experience the legendary aircraft carrier Intrepid, the first space shuttle Enterprise, a Cold War-era submarine Growler, a British Airways Concorde, and the world's fastest jets.

Commentary We need better teachers. It's a mantra in education reform circles. And as Congress gears up to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, last rewritten in 2001 as the No Child Left Behind Act, the refrain will only grow louder.

During my first year of teaching, I naively thought that field trips would be easier and more fun than a typical day in the classroom. Then, I got my first taste of field trip reality - my student Andrew got stung on the tongue by a wasp first thing in the morning.** Just a few reminders

Six steps to successful co-teaching
