Notes:
Search to find all the quotes in "All I ReallyNeed to Know I Learned In Kindergarten" If you search on that title, you will find all kinds of links that want to sell the poster, or just mention it. Instead, search on a few unique phrases from the poster, like "Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you" and "Be aware of wonder" to find pages that have all the sayings on the poster. You may find a site that has many other "keepers" that you would like.When searching for lesson plans, search on both the term "lesson plan" and the topic like "North Dakota"
