Teacher Appreciation Week.
We owe so much of our success in life to teachers. Simply saying “thank you” hardly seems adequate to express our gratitude to those who have been so instrumental in the lives of so many.

In appreciation of teachers everywhere, Learning A-Z will open one of its six password-protected websites each day of Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5–9, PLUS on May 12, so teachers can download and print differentiated teaching materials.

The websites will be open on the days indicated below from midnight to midnight EST.
May 5: ReadingA-Z.com: Thousands of printable books and lessonsMay 6: Raz-Kids.com: Interactive leveled reading libraryMay 7: WritingA-Z.com: Leveled writing lessonsMay 8: VocabularyA-Z.com: Customized vocabulary lessonsMay 9: Reading-Tutors.com: Reading skills packetsMay 12: ScienceA-Z.com: Multi-leveled science units.

Tell your co-workers, friends, neighbors, or even put a posting on your website about Teacher Appreciation Week at LearningA-Z.com.
If you are reading this, thank a teacher!

Sincerely,

Mike - Webmaster

Road to Graduation Begins in Kindergarten
As early as kindergarten, students are learning behaviors that will keep them in school through high school. Early steps can help assure that each child will continue through school successfully, and early intervention can alter the absentee path of potential dropouts. Intervention programs that take place in high school may be too late, according to a recent study at Arizona State University. Read more about this study, and share your comments at Bob's Blog.
