more!
Service Learning Workshop (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=xb8rpsbab.0.rgsavobab.4pv6l7n6.207966&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.21stcenturyschools.com%2FAcademics_in_Action_ws.htm) -
Service learning is the ultimate 21st century

of fun to observe in February (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=xb8rpsbab.0.pdvdzsbab.4pv6l7n6.207966&p=http%3A%2F%2Fholidayinsights.com%2Fmoreholidays%2Ffebruary.htm). Valentine's Day is also Ferris

wide array of exciting interdisciplinary unit themes
and projects! Possibilities range from the fanciful to
the serious, for all grade levels, and each of them will
have your students engaged and learning!

Ham Radio in the Classroom
You have the opportunity to join thousands of other
school teachers around the world who use Amateur
(Ham) Radio in their schools!
If you are already a ham, you probably have first-
hand experience using Amateur Radio. You might
enjoy communicating by voice, computer (packet
radio) or Morse code; relaying your signals through
satellites; or just communicating for the fun of it.
Now we invite you to bring these experiences into
your classroom.
People of all ages from 6 to 96, from all walks of life
from all over the world are ham radio operators.
Hams' adventures include such things as handling
emergency communications, bouncing signals off
meteors or the moon, even talking to astronaut-hams
while they circle the Earth in the shuttle. The
majority of hams, however, communicate just for the
fun of it.
