Your ideas are so fresh and written so thoroughly that teachers can really use this information! I am so impressed. I know that you didn't apply for my award, but I noticed that you had an awards page and I would be HONORED if you'd accept my award for an Outstanding Teacher Website!

Hello,
I just wanted to send you a note and let you know that I really enjoyed your website!
I teach grades 3-6 at a private school in York, PA and I am always looking for new and interesting ideas to incorporate in my classroom. I found your website when I was researching different classroom arrangements/suggestions. The links to the other classrooms were also very helpful. It was so interesting to see how each teacher has made their classroom unique and interesting without being overwhelming to the students.
Your willingness to share your time and talents are really appreciated. I liked your philosophy that by sharing our classroom "secrets" we all become better teachers.
Hope you have a terrific 2008-2009 school year!
Thanks for your time,
Jennifer McCary
My name is Kari and I am a new 4th grade teacher. I taught kindergarten last year, but this year I will be in 4th grade. I absolutely love your website. Kuddos to you for all of your hard work. I was wondering what program you used to create your website. I would love to be able to use a website with my 4th graders. Thanks so much!

Hi, my name is Nicole Miller and I'm a 4th grade teacher in Soledad, CA. I recently found your outstanding class website and I am interested in the reading bingo forms...what they are, how they look, etc.
I thought I might be able to download a form from your site, however I was not. If possible, would you be able to send me a copy of what they look like? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Again, I really enjoyed your website...got some good ideas.
I love your website! It is absolutely wonderful. I teach 4th grade and I would like to see your BINGO boards and monthly genres. It sounds like a great idea. Would you like to share? I would really appreciate it. I have a neat project that I am going to do on Famous Americans if you'd like it.
Thanks! Colleen McGettigan
Hello,

Thanks so much,
Debbie from Winnebago, Illinois
Ms. Jensen I LOVE your website!
I don't know how I came across your site but I'm so glad I did. I'll be teaching 5th grade next year for the first time and found your forms and letters on the Teacher Resource page to be extremely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your resources with the rest of us!
Wishing you the best,

You website is awesome!! I am going to use some of your ideas as well - especially the kids' bank (I've already signed up!). It's nice to see another teacher at a Catholic school interested in using technology.
