Hello Everyone,

I know it has been a few weeks and your patience is appreciated.  It is that time of year to look at next year’s school budget and to prepare for Open House.  We are also booking now to teach ePublishing workshops this summer.

However, among all the many things the Unlock the Teacher team has been doing, we are thrilled to share a new teen author.  Please help us welcome Lindsay Gallagher, a thirteen year old student who loves to write and share the good with others.  Her first book will be on sale this Thursday at Barnes and Noble.com Please check out, “Are you a Good Friend” and share it with the teenager in your life!

May we continue to seek knowledge in all things~

Teen Ink…a Wonderful Resource Site for Parents, Students and Teachers

I wanted to share a great resource site to get your child/student excited about writing. This site is a wonderful teen site, where all the articles are written by teenagers.  I encourage you to check it out and let us know your thoughts.  We need to speak their language (perhaps not agree with it) bu t try to understand it, if we hope to take them to new heights in the classroom. TEENInk~ A wonderful magazine for teens written by teens.
