K...Tip for school visits: Let the kids participate! Kids love to share their thoughts and opinions, or act out concepts. I often structure lessons that allow me to ask for vollenteers. Also, take breaks that allow kids sitting on the floor to get their 'wiggles out'. A short minute game of 'Do what I do' (jumping jacks, snapping fingers, hopping) keeps restlessness to a minimum and allows you to retain focus.Angela Ackermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808259088625142389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455470936377851195.post-3654349613809959772008-06-23T01:43:00.000-04:002008-06-23T01:43:00.000-04:00I love Craiglist.com !

You could run this contest for a couple of speaking engagements and collect email addresses to notify the winner -- It's a big thrill for kids to name a character -- or even have their own name as a character in a book.Hanna Rabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721902339012774832noreply@blogger.com
