Her students will be enjoying a pizza party on the last day of school as well. They will also receive on-screen credit in the upcoming “Dogclaration of Independence” film.

There were many wonderful names submitted! So many, in fact, that we are also honoring several other names with an "honorable mention." These classes will receive an autographed drawing for their classroom, and credit in the upcoming Pups 2 film. Here are the runners up:

End of the School Year Specials!

Do you know how many school days are left in your school year? Has the "count down" begun?

We know that school is rapidly drawing to a close.


So, we wanted to offer some terrific specials between now and the end of the year!

We're running two POGOs! (POGO = Pick One, Get One!)

If you choose either our new release, Food Truck Roadblock, or Drew Cary Vol 2,  as your FAV (free annual video), you'll get the other one automatically included as a bonus!


If you choose either one of our Money DVDs, A World of Money or Too Much Money, as your FAV, you'll get the other Money title as your free automatic bonus.

Did you already pick your FAV for this year? Don't worry, we have a great special for you as well:

Our PLUS program is on sale for half price! For just $4.95 for a WHOLE YEAR (from the date you sign up), you can get a FREE DVD every 30 days! That's 12 FREE DVDs for the year! Yes, we even cover the shipping & handling! You just have to come back to the site every 30 days and leave feedback on your previous DVD, then select your new one. This works out to just .41 per DVD, and that includes the shipping!

All of these specials are good now through the end of the izzit.org school year, which is June 30, 2014.

Get your hands on some great resources to combat those "end of the school year" blues, where it's hard to hold the kids' attention.

If you haven't chosen your FAV for the school year, time is running out! Don't miss your chance to get a DVD this year. Take advantage of one of our terrific specials.

What do tamales, cupcakes, and a tape measure have in common?

Answer: They're all things that might be found on a Chicago food truck!

In Chicago, food entrepreneurs who want to run a food truck face a lot of roadblocks in the form of regulations.  Regulations that require them to have a GPS unit and a tape measure.

The tape measure isn't actually required, but if they want to avoid some hefty fines, they need it.

Learn more about how food trucks operate in the Windy City, and maybe order up some lunch. The teacher's guide for this unit includes several "consumer math" activities you can do with your students, as well as some delicious recipes. Cook up student interest with this fascinating new release from izzit.

Special thanks to our teachers!

We've just concluded our annual survey where 600 teachers are randomly selected from the izzit.org database to give us additional feedback to help us improve our products.

This survey is different from the "regular" feedback forms we ask teachers to complete in order to receive a free DVD each year. Teachers responded to a total of approximately 35 questions designed to help us understand how teachers like/use our products, and what else they'd like to see.

It generally takes about 10 minutes to complete. These gift cards are our way of thanking those teachers for their time.

We can't improve our products without your feedback, so we appreciate every form of it, from our regular feedback form, to the emails you send us, to the completion of our annual survey.

Thank you!
