Works4Me is a collection of practical classroom tips from teachers to share their ideas with other teachers, like this one:From Janet Keohane, a fifth-sixth grade teacher in Beach, North Dakota: "I involve my students in an ongoing contest to see who can find the most nouns, adjectives, words with four syllables, etc. from a list of words. I have them number and write their findings on a piece of adding machine tape that can be easily rolled into a scroll and attached with a paper clip to keep it in place. When winners are decided on the final day, I hang everyone's strip from the ceiling. The adding machine tape makes a great display of students' work and they enjoy the change of pace from using regular notebook paper." More of them at: National Education Association.

For many students, homework takes away a significant part of their time. Are they doing too much of homework? Or is it too little?? Read some interesting findings about "The Homework Experience" in a survey titled "The American Teacher" by MetLife.Six in ten parents think that their child’s teachers assign the right amount of homework but an additional 25% think that too little homework is assigned! What do the students say? Three-quarters of students (77%) believe that doing homework is important and seven in ten agree that doing homework helps them learn more in school. However, nine in ten students (89%) feel stressed about doing homework. The study says that about half of students spend about an hour a day for homework. But, somehow the homework time shrinks considerably when the American Idol is on TV! [SHIV : 219100001354 : 02/27/2008] Sign the Nation's Largest Thank You Card for Teachers! 
What's the most appreciated gift by teachers?While 30% of them may like a spa or other gift certificate, 48% of the teachers overwhelmingly say "Hearing the words 'Thank you' or receiving a thank you card" as the best gift from their students! Some teachers like to accept just an apple according to an Teacher Gift Online Poll in 2007 by the National Education Association (NEA), in which more than 2,500 teachers participated. Inspired by the response, the NEA and the National Parent Teachers Association (PTA) are building the Nation's Largest Teacher Thank-You Card! All submissions will be compiled into a larger-than-life card that will be unveiled in Spring 2008 and travel to major cities throughout the year.
