Thanks so much for using Internet 4 Classrooms with your students and children to find the best educational resources. Our newsletter focuses on sharing tips and ideas and asking for your input in helping make our site grow and meet your individual needs in the classroom, home school setting, and as a parent. For many years, we have worked diligently to share the best resources that we have found for a variety of subject areas and grade levels. We are constantly updating this information on our website, and we are now sharing this information in other ways. We urge you to visit our blog and encourage you all to post comments and read other comments to learn from your colleagues. Also follow us on Twitter (internet4classr) to stay up to date with our offerings and our new sources/links for great educational and technology information for both you and your students and children. We answer direct questions via email about almost any subject matter. We feel that this is a very important part of Internet4classrooms. If you have a question we would like to give you an answer . Internet4classrooms is maintained and built for educators, parents and students and this site is yours. Comments and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for your support. Susan

February Holidays & Observances!
Groundhog Day Update: Most local groundhogs did not see their shadows on Groundhog Day 2010, even though the most famous one of all did. Punxsutawney Phil's Groundhog Day 2010 prediction was six more weeks of winter, as he did see his shadow.
Don't forget to check out the Holiday/Seasonal section on Internet 4 Classrooms. We have resources for:
- Black History Month - Started in 1926 as a weekly holiday, February is now a month in the U.S. and Canada where we honor and learn about the contributions of people such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. Dubois. Learn more about the rich African-American heritage, including history, art and music.
- National Dental Month -
A tooth care video on how to brush and floss for young students can be
found here. Color sheets come with this activity along with an online
book that reinforces these skills.
- Valentine's Day - Find creative project ideas for all ages to use in the classroom or the home!
- Chinese New Year - 2010 is The Year of the Tiger. Learn the history of this holiday and how to celebrate with customs, food, and decorations!

With over 2,000 pages on our site, we've created this monthly section to highlight material that you may not have seen. Check out our Featured Picks for February:
- Science Fair
- Parents, do those two words strike fear in your heart? Need help
choosing a project? We are here to help. Browse our many resources for
all grade levels for parents, students and teachers. We've pulled the
best science fair resources into one place so you don't need to go
searching on your own.
- Testing Resources, by Grade Level - Now is the time when we are all preparing our students for
testing. Many teachers over the years have requested that we organize
our Assessment Assistance section by Grade Level. Be sure to check out our Released Tests to Print, which is organized by Grade and our Interactive Practice,
which is also organized by Grade. We now have all of these resources
for you in this new format that we feel will help you find what you
need quickly for each Grade 1-12 Subject Area, as you prepare your
students for upcoming testing. It is never too early to start planning!
If you find that students need extra help in any area, be sure to view
our Skillbuilders and Standards Practice Areas, which are also organized by grade level for additional practice.
- Grades 7-12 Resource Starter Page - While many use our site for elementary resources, we also have a
wealth of information for Secondary/High School teachers and students.
From ACT/SAT preparation help, Released High School Subject Area Assessment Tests to Lesson Plans
and classroom resources for all subject areas, this section is a great
starting point or bookmark for the upper grade levels as a quick
reference for resources.
