Finally, here's a book that will help teachers win their students' attention.

Each section contains eight or more practical and fun ideas ready for the classroom. All are self-explanatory and easily adapted for grades K-5. Ideas and teaching strategies are easy to locate with this accessible presentation. A special section is included to help teachers get organized and motivate students.
