Resources to Support Instruction
FREE Curriculum Resources
While searching this month for ELA resources, I found this "Holy Cow" website. Featured this month, The Common Core Conversation, an amazing and comprehensive website supporting Common Core instruction has more resources than you can imagine! A handful of educators from a variety of states have contributed to this project - am sure you will be glad they did!!
You may feel like a "kid in a candy store" as you enter this site. Happy hunting!
