This week's topic is:

GRANTS

Most often grant and funding opportunities require a lot of work and have strict deadlines, but they can be well worth the effort!

Some sites to help in this effort:

• Teaching and Learning Grant Opportunities
  http://www.ntlf.com/html/grants/titles.htm

• US Department of Education - Grants & Contracts
  http://www.ed.gov/offices/OCFO/grants.html

• Carnegie Corporation of New York

• Polaris Grants Central

Good Luck!

EduHound Spotlight Site of the Week!

In honor of Grants, this week's featured site is:

SchoolGrants: Grants and Opportunities for K-12 Schools
http://www.schoolgrants.org

SchoolGrants was created in 1999 as a way to share grant information with PK-12 educators. Finding suitable grant opportunities requires a great deal of time and research - SchoolGrants reduces the effort by listing a variety of opportunities available to elementary and secondary schools and districts across the United States.

Good Luck!

Ask Judi!

This week's question comes from Cheryl:

"I work in an alternative setting and most of our students are poor writers and we would like to implement 10-15 writing time to practice cursive writing. Do you know of any good resources on the internet with worksheets and other resources that is geared toward middle and high school students?"

Certainly, Cheryl!

Here are some sites to get you started:

• The Amazing Incredible Handwriting Worksheet Maker

• learningpage.com: Cursive Alphabet Worksheets
  http://www.learningpage.com/free_pages/menu_basics/alpha_cursive.html
