Need Resources For Your Classroom??

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share with you my Wonderful Christmas Blessing that I received in December of 2007, well it actually started in spring of 2004. I had just started working in my class in January, and my resources for my classroom was slim to none; therefore, when I came across the website I said to myself, I probably won't ever heard from anyone but I did. Well, to make a long story short, I registered at the website www.adoptaclassroom.com . While I was in St. Dominics hospital during the month of December because of heart problems, I was very bored and got on my laptop to check my e-mails, and there the letter was!! I had been adopted by a fifth grade class from California. The students and teacher raised the money that they donated to my classroom which was $300.00 to put the icing on the cake OfficeMax match the amount and I received another $300.00 in January of 2008. My students and I have had a wonderful time learning with the new manipulatives.

Also when you go to educational websites, don't forget to enter their sweepstakes because you just might win as I did in October of 2004 at www.scholastic.com . I was browsing Scholastic website and came across their New Teachers "Ready To Go" Sweepstakes just two days before the sweepstake was closing. I enter and forgot all about the sweepstake. Well, I started getting all these packages from Scholastic, and I told my assistant, I don't know why I am receiving all this stuff because I haven't order it. I call Scholastic to see why, the person on the phone couldn't tell me why. I understand now why Dr. Roberts told us to be sure me check our e-mail daily because I had received the letter from Scholastic but it was still waiting on me in my mailbox. So be sure to check your emails daily, you might get a surprise like me! Please read my letter below from Scholastic also check out educational websites; they can be a Blessing.
