Items for One-Room School Blog

To accompany this blog and my interest in one-room schools, I'm trying to develop some materials that others can use. Some will be nostalgic. Others might be something you could use to give a one-room school effect to your teaching.

So...I'm brainstorming. What would be good?
  • Pictures
  • List of old text books
  • Old books if you can find them (I do collect old reading books)
  • My mom's memories in booklet form
  • Illustrations as I create them
  • Gift items

Mary Emma's Learning Activities Blog

Although this isn't really about one-room schools, although it could interest current teachers and does relate to education, I've begun a blog, Mary Emma's Learning Activities, where I can share lesson plans and activities.

I've long wanted to do this...develop activities from the lessons I teach when I'm subbing, working with home schoolers, and conducting at young author workshops. After providing lessons to home schooling moms during a workshop, I decided it was time to get this going.

Since I've just begun my blog, there isn't much there yet. But keep checking. Also, let me know what might interest you.
