World Water Day- March 22nd

Tomorrow (March 22) is World Water Day. This video is a great way to teach students the role water plays in our bodies.

Books

Books are one of my favorite things. One of my favorite places to get books is McKay Used Books, CDs, Movies, and More. If you have never been to McKay then you are missing something really special. I made a trip to the Chattanooga store yesterday to get some new reading material. I have a Kindle and read primarily with it now, but still like to pick up a printed book occasionally. Yesterday during my trip I decided to see if I could find some books for my future classroom and stumbled upon a treasure trove of Regional History books. I decided to pick up a few Tennessee History books that I wanted to read, but I also thought would be great in a classroom.
