The Bookworm's Bookbag

Each and every time that I browse through my Google Reader, I am amazed at how many creative and talented educators there are out there in the blog world.  I often send links to my favorite posts to some of my friends in the early childhood field.  They are always so appreciative because they love the fun, fresh ideas.  Many of them tell me that they wish they had more time to regularly read blogs because it gives them so many activity ideas to incorporate into their classrooms.  This got me to thinking....

I am sure many of you are familiar with Mailbox magazine.  Well, my idea is similar.  Let's combine the best early childhood blog posts and publish them as e-books (one for each month of the year).  I think this type of compilation would help all of those educators who simply don't have time to read through lots of blogs.

Here is how it will  work:  At the beginning of the month I will post a topic (such as Valentine's Day).  If you have an activity idea based on a Valentine's Day book, you can email it to me.  Your idea  can be one that you have already posted on your blog or something new.  I will collect all of the submissions and after the deadline I will select the ones that will be published.  If your idea is published, we will pay you $10 or you may choose one of The Itty-Bitty Bookworm downloads absolutely fee.  When we publish your idea, we will site your blog link.  Hopefully, this will drive some additional traffic to your site.

Interested? Go to We Teach and sign up to become a member.  Then join The Bookworm's Bookbag group.  There you will find the submission guidelines, current themes, etc. 

Please send a link to this post to anyone you think may be interested.

Any suggestions?  Thoughts on a title for the publication?  I am all ears (or eyes)!
