5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have For Teachers, October 1, 2000

By	Dr. Beth Rice (West Palm Beach, FL) - See all my reviews

One of the most truly useful books to come along in a long time. This book needs to be in the hands of every elementary teacher. The ideas are useful, practical and easy to implement. Once more, all of the suggestions that I have used in both my elementary class and my masters college classes have been met with success. They show ways to bring the joy back into learning in this test concious atmosphere. As adjunct faculty to Nova Southeastren University in Ft. Lauderdale, I recommend this book to all of my college students as a source they must have. It is always wonderful to see a book by real teachers for teachers. My thanks to them for sharing some of their "tricks of the trade" that make them such successful teachers. Education needs more like them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bookbag of the Bag Ladies Best, February 20, 2008

By	Ann S. (florida) - See all my reviews

This is a must have resource for any teacher. The projects are easy to follow and extremely useful in the classroom. These projects have brought the life back into my classroom as well as helping to keep my students organized and engaged. Each project has a picture in the book to show you what the finished project should look like. I found this very helpful. The materials you need for the projects are very reasonable to purchase or can be gotten for free from local vendors. Not only are these great for the curriculum but they are also "green" in that these clever teachers have used recycled cd cases, bags, etc. to make these wonderful additions to your classroom. I highly recommend this book for all teachers whether they have just started teaching or are veterans. The children love the projects and you will too. I hope they write many more books to keep teachers and students stimulated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the Ideas!!, August 30, 2009

By	Troy Gross "TexasTeacher" (Dumas, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The ideas in this book are great! They are some we have all thought of but have never really used because we weren't sure exactly how! This shows you how step by step!
