    Center Task Cards CD
All six task cards on one CD in Adobe pdf files: Buddy Reading, Word, Writing, Letter, Vocabulary and Newspaper.

Ready-made center ideas. Each card has a simple word or phrase and an illustration to remind children what the activity is on the task card. Independent work time should mean that children practice and utilize basic learning concepts. Teaching children an array of activities that will allow them to work without you is imperative. This will allow you to meet with small groups and individual children. If you have ever wondered "what will the other kids be doing?" these cards will create a classroom full of children who not only know what to do, but want to do it. Each set of task cards was created to outline how to practice skills in an independent classroom environment. While the letters, words, or books change, the basic skills that we want children to acquire do not. The cards come with directions for introduction of the cards, along with blackline masters if needed. Print and cut out the cards you want to use, punch a hole in the corner and place a metal ring through the hole to keep them together.

 Volunteers are Vital  Volunteers are Vital
Char Forsten, Jim Grant, Betty Hollas & Donna Whyte
What would schools do without volunteers - those generous individuals who willingly help so many in so many different ways. Whether it's in the classroom, on the playground, on field trips, or from their own homes, volunteers provide invaluable assistance and support to teachers, children, administrators - whoever needs them. For anyone who has benefited from these "very special people," here's a way to say, "Thank you for all that you do!"
