Educators know the first few days and weeks of school set the tone for the rest of the year. Teachers with a full repertoire of games, exercises, books, and daily routines will be primed to take on the new school year with gusto! The 50 activities, strategies, and tips found in this book will help save time and get the year off to a terrific start. First-day icebreakers, getting-to-know-you activities, collaborative class books, poems, miniplays, bulletin board ideas, name games, read-alouds, songs, fun surprises, and more are included in this dynamic workbook. In one activity, each child calculates the "value" of her or his own name, using a chart that assigns a price to each letter of the alphabet (A equals one cent, B equals two cents, C equals three cents, etc.). Students then answer a series of questions, including "Whose name costs the most?" "Can you think of the names that would cost exactly 75 cents?" "What is the least expensive name you can think of?" Kids sharpen their math skills while they learn their classmates' names. Packed with useful pointers and creative reproducibles, and organized logically and clearly, this book may very well be a teacher's "best ever" back-to-school resource.

In fact, this book contains first day welcoming activities, getting to know you icebreakers, back to school mini books, bulletin board ideas, perfect poems, and suggestions of books to read on the first day.

Jokes that will generate giggles from most children
Many of these jokes are oldies, but are funny enough that the latest generation will enjoy them. There are knock-knock jokes, riddles, wordplay, and bug in the cafeteria food jokes. They will delight children roughly ten years of age. As a parent, I have been the recipient of the telling of many jokes of these forms and this collection contains some of the best. If you buy the book for your child, be prepared to listen to some corny, yet humorous jokes. Like me, if you are an adult and have a good memory, you will recognize many of them. ... Read more

You might be working in the public schools, but who are you really working for on your job? Are you allowing the Lord to use you in such a way that He is obviously at work with you in your public school?Yes, God is looking at our public schools and sees the righteous ones in whom He can work to bring about revival and spiritual healing. From bus drivers to teachers to administrators, there is no Christian public school employee who can't have an influence for our Lord Jesus Christ if we allow Him to fill us and lead us.As you read Dear God, Welcome Back to School, prepare to be encouraged, edified, and equipped. You will learn how God expects His people to join Him as He gives us this "land," and you will see how you can experience God more and more in your school. This huge revelation will result in you being empowered to serve Him as a true soldier of Jesus Christ, going to battle to win the souls of students and staff.Let's hearken to the voice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as He says, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Matt. 11:28-30 nasb). ... Read more
