I'm sick of winter, and my classroom! Isn't there something really new?

Yes! Check out Carson-Dellosa's new Pop-It decoratives for something really different.

There are also flowers and pumpkins and snowmen -- oh, you didn't want to think about winter any more, right?

What can I do with the kids in this weather?

The weather has been unpredictable, ranging from unsettled to horrible.

What can you do with the kids when they can't go outside?

Sand and water tables are a great choice. A Plus Educational has lots of choices, all of which can be shipped directly to your facility.





Let's start with the traditional table -- only better. This one has storage bins, deep trays to limit spilling and splashing, and wheels for easy movement. Pull the bins out to fill, dump, or clean them.


Delta Moon Sand is better yet. It vacuums easily from the floor, clumps easily for pickup, and doesn't stick to hands. Great for kids with sensory issues, and it's gluten and latex free for allergy concerns.

What's great for Valentine's Day?

We're all ready to quit thinking about ice and snow and perk up our classrooms with some heartfelt treasures.


The Valentine Bears is a great book! A collection of lesson plans to go with it can be found at Freshplans, and Hotchalk's new Valentine's Day technology lesson plan uses this book.

Avoid sugar troubles by giving your students "Valentine from your teacher" pencils
or special Valentine's postcards.

These by Susan Winget are great for any age.


Valentine's Jingo is a great twist on classic bingo. Perfect for class parties.



And finish it off with a great Valentine's Day bulletin board set.
