APRIL'S SOCIAL SKILL OF THE MONTH:

New Section in the LMC

FOR TEACHERS!!!

There is a new section in our library that is STRICTLY for teachers! These books are books you can check out to put into your classroom libraries, books for read aloud, author study, mentor texts, and so on. This section is in progress, and it will grow! So please make sure to come stop by the LMC and take a look!

When you come by please come back and comment below a TITLE and AUTHOR of a book you saw on the shelf AND a TITLE or AUTHOR you would like to see on this shelf! There could be a prize or two involved!

UPDATED: Are you INVEST-ed?

UPDATE: The due date to turn in all artifacts to your appraiser is April 11th.








Have you been gathering artifacts for your INVEST Portfolio? It's been a while since we discussed MyLearning.com but once we return from Spring Break--I will be hosting a session, courtesy of Mrs. Hensley on all things INVEST. The focus will be on uploading artifacts into MyLearning.com.

Would you like to get a head start? Below you will find a handy how-to guide and a brief video tutorial (courtesy of a fellow itech) explaining exactly how to get started!

Hopes this helps all of you who requested this! Have a wonderful Spring Break!
