TEACHING AND LEARNING
Recently, I worked with the 8th graders to set up EasyBib accounts to make citing sources easier, and I could do the same for you if needed!
I also did a mini-lesson with all 6th grade science students about the basics of citing books and websites for their Elements project.
Mrs. Lochhead needed books to enhance her Mesopotamia study, so I gathered AND delivered them- service with a smile :) ! Let me know if you need any print resources!
Lisa Lafleur and I collaborated to create a business email format and presentation. I also gathered print resources on debatable topics for her 8th graders' speeches. Let me know if you want me to come to a content meeting to collaborate!
Wishing you all the very best in 2017!
