Extractions: So, your school has invested in technology and now you either have a new lab or new computers in your classroom. Maybe you've just gotten the Internet into your school. And now you're expected to use it! Great! Just one more thing we have to teach! Is the time, effort, and money really worth it? Do I believe that this will help my students become more successful learners? Scavenger Hunts These links are included as examples of the kinds of scavenger hunts teachers can create to reflect the program being taught in their classrooms. Some can be used as presented. Some can be modified to suit particular needs. Some are quite good. Others probably reflect early attempts at using this idea. Where in the world do some animals live? Celebrate National Zoo and Aquarium Month by sending your students on an Internet scavenger hunt! They'll learn about the natural habitats of ten of the world's animals including some animals they've never heard of! Two versions! One for beginners and one for experienced surfers.
Entrepreneurship Classroom Activities: ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IDEAS Can you PERSEVERE and complete the project? a problem from science, history, the classroom etc. entrepreneurship and related skills using ideas presented in http://www.entre-ed.org/_teach/elem-ed.htm
Extractions: Close Window (Thanks to Ronni Cohen, Claymont Elementary School in Delaware for this group of activities that she uses with elementary school students. Ronni is the organizer of B-School for Beginners, a program she runs to teach elementary school teachers how to introduce entrepreneurship into the primary grades.) The elementary teacher often has so much to teach that entrepreneurship education does not appear in the curriculum. Because it is crucial to let children know that entrepreneurship is a viable career option and the skills are critical in developing problem solving skills, there are many ways lesson can be integrated into existing curriculum. Have students take a walking tour of community businesses. Snap pictures of the businesses. When the pictures are developed, have the children construct an entrepreneurial map on a large wall. Students can practice oral and written communication skills by writing interview questions and conducting interviews of the entrepreneurs. The information from those interviews can be compiled in a directory of the types of goods and services, locations, and hours of the businesses. Discuss the locations of the businesses; is location especially helpful to any particular business?

CONTACT by Judie Haynes After the events of September 11th, school districts all over the U.S. received a powerful letter from Secretary of Education Ron Paige in which he asked schools to help prevent harassment of students based on their ethnicity or religion. Here are 25 internet resources which offer great ideas and lesson plans for teaching about peace, tolerance and respect for diversity. Ron Paige's letter states in part: I urge you to make sure that assemblies, classroom discussions, and other school activities held to honor victims of the tragedies do not inadvertently foster the targeting of Arab-American students for harassment or blame. Encourage students to discuss diversity constructively and to express disagreement over ideas or beliefs in a respectful manner. Have a system in place to intervene if particular students exhibit feelings or conduct that could endanger others. Encourage all students to report threats of racial or ethnic harassment. Through our words and the example of our own conduct, we must remind our children that harassment of and violence toward any individual because of his or her race or national origin is never acceptable. In addition, we must emphasize during this difficult time in our nation's history that our feelings of anger and sadness must not be directed at innocent Arab Americans, or other individuals having no connection to last week's events. Working together, we can make sure that our children get a good education in a safe environment that does not tolerate violence and hatred.
