You Gotta' Have Art!
...and we have it, hot off the press!Meet Daily Warm-Ups: Art History, the latest addition to our acclaimed Daily Warm-Ups series. It's a stand-alone or a companion to our perennially popular Daily Warm-Ups: Art.
Difference is, Daily Warm-Ups: Art History zeroes in on how art mixes and mingles with culture and history over time. The familiar, successful format applies: 180 quick activities that require little or no prep time for teacher. These are ideal for the beginning of class, end of class, or any transition or down time.
Fact is, Daily Warm-Ups: Art has been well received year after year. So we went back to the teachers who use it and asked what more we could give them? More of this, they answered, and that's why we developed this new title. Needless to say, it includes a handy-dandy CD-ROM that's completely searchable, so you can copy from the book itself or project/copy from the disk.
Did we mention that Daily Warm-Ups: Art History addresses National Standards for Art Education? That it has links to other web resources? That it's spiral-bound and lays flat? That it's darn cute?
We did? Well, then, what are you waiting for?

Time to Visit North Carolina!

Right now, our Senor Director of Programs and Partnerships, Jill Rosenblum, is down in Greensboro, North Carolina. She's at the annual meeting of the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Jill is showcasing our newest program there, Foundations of Algebra. Designed, written, and piloted with North Carolina educators, Foundations of Algebra prepares struggling students for Algebra 1 and beyond. It's aligned to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, and can be used in 9th grade as a semester or a full-year course.
