Read Across America Day was a success!
We had a great Read Across America event. Let's do it again next year, March 2nd. Here are some pics from the high school. Thank you to everyone who participated.
LEARN 360 Provides a Wealth of Resources for Women's History Month
Teachers, don't forget that students and you have access to LEARN 360, a platform for multimedia educational resources. LEARN 360 includes texts, videos, printables, games, and lessons for all grade levels. For example, here's a link to An interview with Ruby Bridges. In addition to videos, Learn 360 also provides access to transcripts and activities for many videos.
Teachers and students can login to LEARN 360 through Clever.
