Just a quick note...

Even though this section of the site is arranged like a blog, the entries are being constantly updated. I am trying to fill in the blanks with materials as fast as possible! It would be really hard for me to continually update about what's new, so please check through the entries in the archive and see what's there! I have changed the pages so that only the available materials are listed, not a bunch of unlinked text anymore... hopefully that helps! Update 7/17/08 - I have moved a lot of things around and plan to keep this blog as just a place to post updates, from now on.

I am trying to get things online as fast as possible to make things more useful around here! For example, I brought all my Native American files home this weekend and hope to do some scanning got almost (finished 3/30) everything posted! I also uploaded a bunch of Elephant stuff that I had saved on my computer at school.

Website visitors can help our classroom by purchasing items from my Amazon Wishlist (at right) or making a PayPal donation - all donations and ad revenue from this site are spent on classroom books and other materials.

Parents - you can help our classroom by purchasing books for your child from Scholastic book orders. Many books are $2 or less! Every order placed earns bonus points which I use to purchase books and other classroom materials. Every monthly order totaling $20 or more earns us a coupon for $10 in free books. If you place an individual order for $20, I will use this coupon to select some additional books for your child.

Click the link below to place an order! Username and password are both "maiolo." FGCU students, feel free to order as well! This is a very inexpensive way to get books for your future classroom!
