Great Resource!! by April Walters (NY)  5 Stars
October 22, 2009
This book offers wonderful ideas and many templates and graphic organizers. I bought it during student teaching, but I know Veteran teachers who use it on a regular basis. The Organized Teacher (by the same authors) is a must have for first year teachers and The Festive Teacher is great for anyone who wants to promote multicultural awareness and incorporate crafty ideas in the classroom. I highly recommend buying all three together. If you teach grades 1 - 6, I guarantee you will not regret this purchase.

Interesting ideas for the classroom - a must-have resource! by z hayes (plano,texas) 5 Stars
October 21, 2009
I've been collecting teaching resources for the past 15 years (since I began teaching), and have found many of them to be invaluable in the classroom and for tutorials. "The Creative Teacher" is a great tool for teachers, both new and experienced, and covers different subjects as well as grade levels. It can also be used as a homeschooling resource, and for parents who would like to supplement their child's curriculum at school with interesting and creative activities. The book is organized into the following chapters:
Book Reports
Math
Writing
Science
Social Science
Art
Each chapter has multiple suggested activities for different grade levels and integrates different thinking skills. Each learning activity has a list of materials provided, as well as step by step guidelines for the activity. Reproducible worksheets are also provided for the various suggested activities. At the end of the book, there is a list of suggested resources which includes both children's literature references, resource book references, and website references.
"The Creative Teacher" is a practical, interesting, and enlightening educational resource book that will complement any teacher's/parent's library and is also recommended for school and public libraries.

highlight of my day by one little gustie (Saint Louis) 5 Stars
December 12, 2008
I never get bored looking through this book for ideas or suggestions. It's overflowing with possibilities and makes dreams for my classroom endless. All subjects are covered lit, math, science, social studies... all of them. There are also reproducibles for younger grades and upper grades. Lower grade ones have more space to write and draw pictures while the older ones are written in cursive and have more questions. I have a few books from this collection- the organized teacher and 101 great games, and I haven't been disappointed yet!
