How do you bridge the critical gap between science and literacy in your daily reading block? How do differentiate your elementary science instruction to accommodate the needs of all your students? Does your current instructional approach satisfy both Science and ELA curriculum standards? Join us for a highly engaging and fun-filled session. Explore ways to integrate the critical elements of science with reading and writing to help students establish real-world connections and elevate learning across content areas.

Digital breakouts seem to be getting more and more popular. It's very clear that students are more engaged when they are working to beat the clock and each other. Often times though, the reality is that they take TOO MUCH TIME to create! Well, guess what?!? Problem solved...the Flippity Add-On for Google Sheets came out with a new Scavenger Hunt Feature. It is SO, SO easy and fun to use!
You are definitely going to want to try this! It's a TIME SAVER & your students will LOVE IT!!! We will also look at the interactive timeline feature.

Come join us to learn about a host of helpful online tools to help you and your students.

We will dive into tried and true online tools for language learning that will benefit you, your students and your classroom.
