TEACHERPLANET NEWS
serving 200,000 educators
=====================
Issue #1 - January 2, 2004
Dear Members, Colleagues and Friends,
Let me begin by wishing all of you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
After more than three years as "The Educator's Network Newsletter", we are
thrilled to officially launch our new and improved network of Teacher-Only web
sites. This publication also marks the inaugural issue of "TeacherPlanet News".
While some things have changed for the better, the items that you have come to
rely on will remain the same. As always, it is our continuing goal to provide
K-12 teachers around the world with resources, lesson plans, worksheets, theme
units, certificates, rubrics, and much, much more - "GRATIS". Please get used
to seeing this word in our newsletter. Unfortunately, most filters are now
blocking emails with the dreaded "F" word, so we can no longer use it in our
newsletter, and no, we don't mean the other "F" word, but the one beginning
with F, followed by an R, and two E's.
That is all for now. Please keep your comments coming as they are a tremendous
resource for us. We also encourage you to occasionally visit our sponsors, as
this is what keeps all our sites and newsletters "GRATIS".
Thanks and Have a Great Week,
Rona Martin
