The Math Department is ready for SLI #lisdsli #lubbockisd

We want you to share a photo of something you received at CFS, Summer PD, or just a great idea you tried in your classroom. We will draw 2 names in elementary and 2 in secondary from the posts at the end of the six weeks for $25 Target gift cards. Include #itriedit #lisdmath
