Jan,
I applaud your efforts to continue doing what's best for students within the demands that are imposed on us. We can't lose sight of that priority. Through your gallery, you'll provide a wonderful service while showcasing student writing.

Hi Steve,
I currently live in Oakhurst; I think the sub-regional focus is excellent. As I sit and think of themes, I fear that if we get too specific, it will start to become overwhelming. We could start with bigger themes (parenting, careers, trave…
Sounds great...I am in Princeton...and working with elementary students to accelerate reading progress for children who do not have a rich background in language...often did not attend preschool...with all these tweets and such becoming so popular..…

Jack said… - Hi Kay,
MIT university is trying to build a free resource to help kids learn SAT/ACT thru the power of user-generated images and video. We are currently running a nationwide contest, challenging kids to make fun and memorable flashcards by pairing sentences and images to a common test word. There will be a small cash prize and iTunes giveaways. Due date is May 22.
More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules. Do you have students or colleagues who would be interested?

Kathy and Stephen...what can I say except, "Wow!" The both of you went through a lot of effort, and that is most appreciated. Democracy in my mind is an action word.
