SLANT: Sending Love Across the Nation to Teachers. It is the brain child of Jameson of Lessons With Coffee. Jameson links up teachers that sign up each month with two other teachers. After a month of emails back and forth, you receive a package from one teacher and you send a package to the other teacher.

The other teacher I met was Kristen from Kinderdoodlez.
