November News
Northwest Montana Educational Cooperative
November 2017
The Co-op's Math Curriculum Review Committee will be meeting Tuesday, November 28. We will be working with Marisa Franklin (OPI's Math Content Specialist). She is amazing and truly wants to connect with, as well as support Montana educators.
If everything goes as planned, I will be out of the office November 6-17th but will answer emails and work on content the week of Nov. 13th. Beth will do a wonderful job running the office and classroom in my absence. Please do not hesitate to stop by, call or email her. The Co-op is CLOSED during Thanksgiving week.
