I just finished reading Wand by Landra Jennings Books. If your students are looking for a short book with a little bit of magic and a touch of fairy dust, then I highly recommend this one! Media Masters Publicity goodreads.com/review/show/60…

Great collection of middle school poem! #eckfile

The lesson planned is not always the learning experienced.

Plan the ideal.

Accept the real.

We are along for the ride.

Witnesses.

What a great idea for an anthology!

This past afternoon, a Champions Together assembly was held at Lincoln High School in Vincennes! During the assembly, LHS Athletic Director awarded letter jackets to three members of their Unified Alices team! Congratulations Alices!
