Earth Day Bulletin Board
This is an extra long bulletin board:

Recycle color pages were stapled around a recycling bin made from a shoe box:

Fun with WordFriends App is Now Available!
“Fun with WordFriends,” available in the Apple App Store, is a great new educational app from WordWorld (in association with PBS Kids)! Your kids can play educational word learning games along with characters from the hit PBS Kids show! Using this app, children can learn letters, letter sounds and word families. As a teacher, I think this is an excellent app for kids where they can learn while having a lot of fun.
