Easels for big books can be expensive. A cheaper alternative is to use an artist's easel. Check out this site for mini motivational posters. The posters are small only about 4 x 6 but they would make a nice page addition to a class yearbook. Use computer labels to add a personalized touch to reward pencils. You can write a note on them and wrap them around the pencil top or print out the labels with general sayings. You can use your NEA card to get a 50% discount off of a day pass or Freedom ticket to Colonial Williamsburg. The discount applies only to the teacher and not to family. You can tailor make your own counting ...
