Arming Teachers with Tools...
All in a Day's Work
We hope you were among the tens of thousands of teachers who recently downloaded millions of differentiated instruction materials during Teacher Appreciation Week. If you missed the Learning A–Z Open House, you can still try free samples of the Internet-delivered resources.
During the Teacher Appreciation Open House, Learning A–Z allowed free access to one of its six subscription websites each day of the week, plus the following Monday. (Learning A–Z is the parent company of the Learning Page sister subscription websites.)
For those who missed any part of the Open House, visit Reading A-Z.com, Raz-Kids.com, Vocabulary A-Z.com, Reading-Tutors.com, Writing A-Z.com, and Science A-Z.com for free samples.
Learning A–Z thanks teachers everywhere for their dedication to children.
Dashing Off to a Great Day
In San Diego, reports Bob's Blog, students are getting a head start on the school day by jogging laps. Jogging is a valuable move for fighting childhood obesity; it works out "the wiggles," and it stimulates production of a protein that helps the brain learn. It sounds like San Diego students are starting their days off on the right foot.
Reading Is an Adventure in Any Language
 As the world becomes more and more globalized, being bilingual or even trilingual is increasingly important. Reading A–Z, a Learning Page sister website, helps encourage young readers to explore foreign languages by offering downloadable books in English, Spanish, and French. Students can celebrate Cinco de Mayo this month by reading a favorite book in English, then reading it in Spanish. There’s no better time than the present to start students learning a new language. The earlier in life, the better.
