Full Project Description:
Hi!
We are looking for schools from all around the world to host our moose for
a couple of weeks. This is a new project and we hope to start it right
away. We have this teddy bear (teddy moose to be correct) and we have given
him the mission to travel all around the world to find answers to different
questions and learn more about different cultures.
If you chose to take part in the project we will send the moose in a
package to your school. When he arrives he have some assignments with him
and he wants your students help. We want your students to take some digital
pictures of him in different settings and situations and also write his
diary, in English, for the days he spend at your school. After one week we
want you to send the material (images and text) to us by e-mail and we will
put it on our project website for all the world to see and read. Before and
after his visit to your school you can go to the website and find out more
about his adventures. After one week at your school you will send him to
the next school in the chain.
Are you and your students interested in taking part in this project? Please
let us now right away.
Send us some information about yourself, your school and your students.
Where is your school situated? When are you on school break, so we can plan
when is a good time for him to visit your school?
Does this sound interesting? Want to know more? Please send us a letter and
we will be happy to answer your questions! The project website will be up
and running in a very nearby future.
We hope to hear from you soon!

Subject: Special TeachersFirst Update - April 22, 2002
Welcome,
This week we introduce a new resource and a new opportunity.
Here is a way you might be able to help a worthy family of one of your students.
We are excited to announce the launch of the new partner website to
TeachersFirst, TeachersAndFamilies.com! TeachersAndFamilies.com will
have both free and subscription content. You can visit us at:
http://www.teachersandfamilies.com
We would like to offer a free subscription to worthy families submitted
by you, our loyal users. We will donate five subscriptions from each
state and the family should have access to a computer with their own
email address. If your submission is one of the first five requests
received from your state, both you and the recipient will be notified by
email. To submit a family, go to:
http://www.teachersandfamilies.com/freereg.cfm
We created TeachersAndFamilies.com to give parents and their children
access to quality educational resources that meet the needs of families
today. Teachers have told us that strong, involved families are one of
the most important factors in their child's learning experience. Our new
site will help parents and their children build the habits that make
learning a positive part of every day.
TeachersAndFamilies.com's initial emphasis will be in three important areas:
o Interesting content and activities for preschool children (It's never
too early to get a good start); Activity themes are at:
http://www.teachersandfamilies.com/open/ps-themes.html
o Original articles and web resources from professional sources for
parents (Quality education-related information); You can see some
samples at: http://www.teachersandfamilies.com/open/parent/index.html
o Useful content for parents of children who have disabilities or are
gifted (Supportive information for the exceptional child); The starting
point for this extensive section is
http://www.teachersandfamilies.com/sped/
o And, as a bonus, many K-12 study units from TeachersFirst are also accessible.
In each area, our goal is to involve parents in their child's education,
to help parents work more effectively with schools and classroom
teachers, and to let young children and their parents learn together.
Our new site will have a wealth of free information and resources for
each area of focus. There will also be an expanded library of original
content for preschoolers, students, and parents which will be available
for a nominal subscription price (12 months for $19.95) to help defray
costs for TeachersAndFamilies as well as TeachersFirst. We will continue
to add new information to both our free and member sections on a regular basis.
TeachersAndFamilies.com is designed to be the perfect complement to the
resources you find each week at TeachersFirst. We hope you'll review the
site, share our good news with parents with whom you come in contact,
and perhaps become a member yourself. You can register at:
http://www.teachersandfamilies.com/bemember.html
As always, welcome your feedback. Send e-mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
TeachersFirst's featured sites this week include a great interactive art
site, some wonderful writing samples, Earth Day ideas for both
elementary and high school students, and lots more. The features are at:
http://www.teachersfirst.com/feature.htm
We'll be back with our regular TeachersFirst Update next week. Remember,
you can find all the great TeachersFirst content from our Content
Matrix: http://wwww.teachersfirst.com/matrix.htm
That will do it for this week. Enjoy exploring both our sites, and
remember that you really do make a difference.
David Shively
Senior Editor
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING E-MAIL ADDRESSES:
TeachersFirst's mailing list has thousands of names. This makes manual
list editing extremely difficult. We'll continue to do it when
necessary, but we'd much prefer you follow the automated instructions below:
TO SUBSCRIBE to this newsletter, go to
http://www.teachersfirst.com/lsoftsignup.htm
and complete the form there. You will receive a confirming e-mail for security
purposes. When you respond to that message, your name will automatically be added to
the TeachersFirst mailing list.
