News-2-You (N2Y) is something I use in my classroom regularly. If you haven't heard about it check out the website here.  I like N2Y for a few different reasons but my favorite thing is that it available on the iPad. Yes!!! NO PRINTING :))))) Here is how I utilize this awesome feature in my classroom **Disclaimer-these pictures are horrible!!!. Download the app for free in the app store. Once it is downloaded make sure to enter in all of your N2Y account information in the settings tab to be able to access the articles for free. The other cool thing about the app is that all of the previous articles are available to read, unlike online which only gives you access to 2 weeks at a time. Once you are in you will have to download each article you want (once you download it, it's available forever). You click the cloud with the down arrow. Once the article is downloaded you are able to select which level your students will read. This makes it easy to modify for all of your students....

We start off every school year with free samples...this is how we get everyone hooked. We set up a station in the front office and send out an email letting everyone know. We also put out a food donation sign up sheet in case anyone wants to donate store bought or homemade goodies. This is what our food cart looks like today but this is not where we started :). When we first started we had our local grocery store donate coffee, teachers donated snacks and we had a tiny cart. After a few years, grants and donations I can say we have a pretty awesome little business. The purpose of the food cart is for our students to develop and practice skills in the following areas: social norms, communication, money and team building. We take the cart out every Wednesday and Friday. I work in a pretty large school (800 students) so we have 6 sp...
