Hello C&I Friends,

Some of you are already familiar with the website, readwritethink.org. Recently I was doing some exploring and I am amazed at how useful this site is not only for ELA folks, but for all the content folks! One of the absolutely coolest pull down menus is called Student Resources. Here there are a myriad of activities and strategies to build literacy skills across the content areas. There is another tab called Calendar; this pull-down allows one to learn about historic events that occurred on each day of the month. What a great way for history teachers to focus on meaningful events! I have found that often I am so busy in trainings trying to make it through the agenda that I neglect to pass on these websites to our teachers. It's time to make a concerted effort to get great websites into the hands of some of our most important people in the district - our teachers! Btw - I'm playing with the site - hope you like my "friends photo" LOL!
