Dear Teachers,

As teachers and parents, this terrible tragedy hit us especially hard because these were our colleagues and our babies, too. This was our school, our safe haven of learning and nurturing that was so inexplicably violated. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims. I don't know what else to say.

If you can, please take the time to have your students send words of support to:

Sandy Hook Elementary
12 Dickenson Drive
Newtown, CT 06482

Also, we will be donating 10% of all sales today to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund out of our commissions. And anyone wishing to contribute directly--and I know many sellers are donating ALL of their sales--you can join TpT by sending your donation to:

Sandy Hook School Support Fund
c/o Newtown Savings Bank
39 Main St.
Newtown, CT 06470 

Teach and be well,

Paul Edelman
Founder, TpT

P.S. We'll be taking a newsletter break next Sunday and be back on Dec. 30th in time to help you plan for next semester.

TpT SPOTLIGHT

It seems like an appropriate moment for our annual ritual of making--and hopefully not breaking--New Year's Resolutions. By clicking through, you'll find dozens of teacher-created approaches.

Congratulations to Tessa Maguire, the latest to surpass $20,000 in earnings, who blogs at Tales from Outside the Classroom.

TpT teacher-author The Primary Techie has created and posted a free download entitled Sandy Hook Elementary Memorial Project described thus: "How can we make any sense of this tragedy? What can we say to our children at school on Monday? Let's use this opportunity to instill how important it is to be kind to one another. Let's come together in love and support. You can make this project with your own family, your class, or your whole school. The more hearts you have, the bigger the circle becomes. On each heart, students write kind words to another student. The hearts link to form a circle of kindness and love."

I graduated from college in the 60’s; so, you know I have been teaching for a very long time, but I still love it! I currently teach remedial math on the college level. In whatever classroom I teach, I post this sentence by George Poyla: “It is better to solve one problem five ways than to solve five problems the same way.” I believe in teaching many math strategies using a hands-on and interactive approach, even on the college level. That includes singing, doing cheers, using manipulatives, drawing pictures, playing games, etc. My mission in life is to cure one Mathphobic at a time!
