My Project

I am beyond grateful that our new administration sees that textbooks are no longer necessary to teach our students. It honestly is a waste of money. Today we are trying something new and only using "trade books" to align with the curriculum. Because this is new, there is a lot of work to be done. The novel is not enough.

We need supplemental material to add to our lessons.

The best way to find more materials is to lean on teachers who have already created and used the material. Teachers Pay Teachers is a great way to help each other to get the job done. I would appreciate your help in gathering material for my lessons. This donation will go a long way to help my district and other teachers who have put in the time and are willing to share.
