International Literacy Day
We celebrate International Literacy Day on September 8th. The article below shares how teachers can use the language of code to empower literacy learners. Carlotta Patterson attended a code.org workshop last summer through a scholarship and LiNK funds. Way to go, Mrs. Patterson. We can't wait to see what you do with coding this year!
*New Deadline* LiNK supply orders
LiNK orders are due to me by November 1st this year. If you have books and/or literacy supplies that you'd like me to purchase with LiNK funds you must send them to me by November 1st. Thanks so much!
