Just Uploaded ~ Free Fall *Hands-On* Creative Lesson Planning Newsletter

I just finished editing this newsletter. I have been the major caregiver for a
family member. She will be having major surgery probably next week, so I don't
know when i will be able to contribute to this group again. I thought many
might enjoy the
many free lesson planning ideas in this newsletter. Feel free to forward
this announcement.

Bring some new fun, educational hands-on learning projects into your
classroom this fall. Many of the AMC resource participants have generously
shared some creative ideas that you can use as interdisciplinary extension
exercises. You’ll also discover some marvelous new recipes and crafts that
you can incorporate into your lesson planning.
