Info OVERLOAD
Mrs. Hanson and Mrs. Roberts attended a CTA conference today with a TON of fabulous information! See below for a million great things!
Brokers of Expertise is an amazing resource of best practices and strategies. There are videos and units, and a lot of information geared specifically to ELD students!
As teachers of English Language Learners, we should ALL be paying close attention to the ELD standards! They are not officially adopted yet, but check out this website for the draft (which is likely to be adopted this summer).
We also have a lot of websites and fun ideas to post over the next few weeks, so keep checking this link! Thanks!

XP Math--Free Math Games!
The Wilson Math department has been absolutely AMAZING in regards to Common Core! They have already worked hard to incorporate more projects and real-life examples into their curriculum.
Today, while browsing the web, I stumbled across XP Math.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!
XP Math is full of MATH GAMES related to Common Core!
(However, you do need to have an updated browser/java, it seems!)
The games look really cool!
