I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing Holiday break! Now that it's officially 2014, it's time that we make Common Core our everyday reality!

A Foreign Language Resource!

While I was googling today, I stumbled across a great resource for Foreign Language Teachers!

I have already posted a LiveBinder for the English department, and now I have one for Foreign Language. A quick recap--a Livebinder is a collection of websites and handouts on one website, similar to a binder in real life.

This one is full of great information for Foreign Language teachers.

Here it is!
