This page was designed to help parents, scout leaders and
teachers find information about crafts and where to order often hard to find
supplies. As a former
teacher trainer and member of many education committees, I just can't resist listing sites I find on the net that look
helpful to teachers.
I have divided this page (again and again!) into three pages. This page for
supply sources plus
Parent/Teacher Resource Page for
resources that are of general interest and Jewish Parent/Teacher Resource Page.
I suggest that Jewish teachers look carefully through both pages as many of the
basic skills and lessons listed are invaluable and can be applied to any
setting.
