Testimonials
This was great! I got so many ideas that I can implement immediately. And even more that I will spend the summer looking into and figuring out how to incorporate. -Susan, Gr. 3
I really appreciate all the strategies and resources provided. As a first year teacher, it can be hard to know what is worth your time and what is not in terms of resources. These condensed
list of resources will help me greatly. Knowing how to use them properly is extremely helpful. -Addison, Gr. 4
I thought Kelly gave lots of quick ideas and strategies for us. She covered things we had questions about, and we get to leave with lots of ready to use resources/ideas. Abby, Gr. 5
