Want to know what each of your fonts will look like?
I purchased a helpful video from the Charity Preston and she had a great website: wordmark.it
It identifies what fonts you have on your computer. All you need to do it type a word and it shows you what that word will look like with each font! It is really neat!

Virtual Teaching Blog
Even if you don't teach kindergarten, you have to buy a subscription to attend this expo. I learned so much and it really helped me with my literacy centers. The extra downloads are unavailable anymore but keep watching their site because they will have more opportunities!

Try this
I saw this idea from another teacher.
She didn't grade with a red pen. She graded each subject with a different color marker. I thought it was really neat and the kids liked it. Has anyone used markers to grade?
