mamallama, I have a flyer from Joann Crafts that mentions a “Kids in Need Teacher Grants program” that might be of interest to you—http://www.kidsinneed.net and click on Teacher Grants program. There should be something about it at http://www.joann.com/ as well.
http://www.teacherplace.org/ is supposed to have lots of “creative lesson plans” and such. I haven’t checked it out yet, but I want to throw away the flyer that advertised it.
