George Was Greener than a Dollar Bill
A hint of things to come: The 2009 Mount Vernon George Washington Summer Institute attendees from Oklahoma are busy working on lessons they are creating about Washington. I am so excited about reading all of them. In December and January the lessons will be presented on this Blog so that other teachers can get ideas for their Washington Birthday Celebrations in February. Many times this year I have past the mesmerizing wind turbines of western Oklahoma. I know that George Washington would have loved them too as he really tried to be environmentally friendly. Two of our teachers are working on a lesson about the “Green of George.” I can hardly to see this lesson and the others that these wonderful educators have created.

I can't wait to see the lesson plans from our 2009 GW Institute teachers! We're getting ready for the 2010 program and will have application materials ready for any interested OK teacher in January. The dates for this summer are: July 11 - 16 (elementary), July 18 - 24 (High), and August 1 - 7 (middle). It promises to be a busy and exiciting summer.
