[NAEP] Final days to submit for a chance at $500 Chapters gift certificate

[Dawn Wiseman]

Just a quick reminder that the deadline for our math/science/IK 
inventory project is this Friday, February 10, 2006 at 17h00 EST.  
Everyone  who submits projects before that point will be eligible for a 
drawing of a $500 gift certificate from Chapters/Indigo (what teacher 
can't use more books?).

So far we have submissions from every province and territory  except 
Manitoba and BC! And we know people in those places are doing great 
work! We also have several submissions from the US and Saskatchewan is 
by far the runaway leader in submissions to date. Thanks to everyone who 
has taken a few minutes to fill out the form at 
http://www.nativeaccess.com/teacher1/survey2.php.

For those of you who haven't yet submitted your initiatives, we are 
looking for information about any science/math/IK focused programme 
operated by a tribal authority, community centre, region, province, 
school or enthusiastic local teacher(s).  Submissions can include, but 
are not limited to, science fairs or camps, cultural fairs, after school 
clubs, community centre groups etc. The goal of this exercise is to pull 
together as much information as possible so successful models from one 
place can be shared across the country and across borders - for 
instance, we have a fabulous idea from Maine for a family math night 
where kids make tessellation t-shirts. We do welcome submissions from 
outside of Canada, but ideas must be transferable and programs allow for 
participation by Canadian students/teachers.

Please visit the following site to submit information about programmes 
in your local area,
http://www.nativeaccess.com/teacher1/survey2.php.

If you know of people running programmes which should be included in the 
inventory, please forward this email to them.

Thanks for your input so far.

Best,
Dawn
