TEACHING RESOURCES
TEACHER SHARE


Hi Elizabeth!
I was scouting around for ideas to use with Ventures 4 unit 6 on time saving devices.  
I thought I'd share this article from the New York Times for the Teacher Forum: In an Era of ‘Smart’ Things, Sometimes Dumb Stuff Is Better

Cheers, Julie Romacker, Aguilar 

CLASSROOM SHOWCASE

Diana Vayserfirova's Kingsbridge Level 5/6 class

African-American History month collages and presenters


















Photos from project "Neighborhoods in New York City" 
by Marina Bekkerman's Level 5/6 class at SASB:






Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level.
I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday.
If I already have enough submissions for the week-
that just means your pictures will be published the next week.
Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.

Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org
