Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Free eBooks from Capstone: Now through August 1
There are many ways to search for books, and although listed as K-6+, I found several titles that could be useful in middle level science and social studies classes, very easy for blended learning or whole class use.
This is very similar to the free myOn access we had for several summers through DOE. The main purpose is to keep students reading during the summer, but everyone can take advantage of this now!
