Our "Monday Morning Ed-U-Upper" has become
the most widely read e-mail periodical directed to educators.
It's free and goes all over the world every Monday
morning. You will find it short, filled with humor, quotes, motivational
pieces, fresh ideas, and bits of this and that.
We hope you'll try it. It's easy to get on, and very
easy to get off.
The Wisdom of Cats Desk Signs...
Cats are funny. They bring great humor and conversation to our lives. But they are also full of wisdom. Those who are willing, have much to observe and learn.
As they ignore our endless chatter and frenzied rushing about, cats demonstrate calmness. Perhaps the most important lesson they teach: Smell the petunias. Relax. Don't take everything in life so seriously!
Note: Depending on the fonts installed
