September Curriculum Map

Well it’s been a little while! I have been in moving mode since conferences last month and we are finally here and I have internet…which I haven’t had for a week (woe is me I know…). So, I knew I had to get in here before August came and went and I start back to school! […]

Tuesday Vegas Sessions

  Vegas Day #2! We are covering a whole bunch of content today. Same as yesterday, anything that is in my TpT store is on sale through the rest of the week. I put this is my post yesterday, but just in case you didn’t see it…I can’t post entire slides and presentations due to copyright issues. […]
