Hi, Evelyn! I'm not sure my lens which is basically a gateway my mother's educational website qualifies for this group. If only she made Squidoo lenses, instead of posting these educational activities to her own blog! Anyway, if you reject the lens, I'll understand, but I thought/hoped you'd like the resources my mom makes for homeschoolers and teachers, anyway!

Hi-thanks for including my lens (Theme Activities for young children's groups) into this group. I shall be checking out more of these lenses next time I need fresh ideas. I think I have a similar passion- i.e. creating themed lesson plans, so thanks for inspiring me to make some more lenses along these lines!
