Try this photo effects and editing site called tuxpi.com. It has 58 different editing tools with numerous picture frames.  I uploaded a photo of a student and put her on a postage stamp frame. It was quick and easy. I think I will have students choose someone they think is important and have them create a postage stamp for them.  They will have to explain why this person deserves to be on a stamp.  If you have used Tuxpi.com please let me know how you have used the site in your classroom.

What to "wire" up your math lessons? Then visit MathWire. This website contains standards-based math activities. I just checked out the activities for the month of December. The site has a variety of themed math activities.  I particularly liked the whole Snowman unit. CHECK IT OUT!
