Newsletter Survey Things are a little different this month. We're in the middle of the dog days of summer, and most educators are on vacation and away from the classroom. Why not take this opportunity to find out what you think about our newsletter and help us make it better? We are taking a break from the usual lesson plans, quotes, and product news to focus on improving the newsletter for next school year. The first one hundred people to complete the survey will receive a complimentary copy of our picture book "Groark's Birthday Surprise". So... Take our short survey! Please note that the survey asks some questions about topics not included in this issue. Please refer to some of the earlier issues found in our Archive Page. Back to Top
