June '11 – New Content on TeacherVision®
This month on TeacherVision® you'll find educational activities for summer, science and social studies fact sheets, and more elementary math printables. Keep kids focused through the last day of school with a mini-lesson on Egyptian pharoahs, activities on ancient Greece, and fascinating facts about insects. Send home our summer fun packets—filled with student activities for core subjects and daily trivia—to help prevent "summer slide". Looking for more ways to keep students' skills sharp over the summer? Our math practice worksheets include answer keys with notes for parents and educators. And remember to visit the DK DailyTeach for today's birthday, historical events, and accompanying activities for your class.

Causes We Support: We Give Books
Visit We Give Books, an ever-growing, free online library of children's picture books! For every book read on the site, a brand-new book will be donated to a children's literacy campaign of your choosing. Read aloud to students or encourage them read independently, and you'll teach them to help others at the same time. Giving is as simple as reading!
