Throwback Thursday #14: It's Fine Time!!



I really dread this time of year in the school library. Since the April 28th start of ASK testing, the book return has been posted outside the library in the hallway. I should have had all the books returned, right? Ha! Time to track down all these students, by going to their classrooms. (I already sent numerous messages to their homerooms.) Time to laugh it off.......

37 Links to Summer Professional Development Opportunities


There are so many educational opportunities for teachers during the summer months. Some can be offered for free, and other charge fees. I'm going to mix it up a bit, because I know there are school districts which will reimburse their teachers if there is a fee. In my case, I'm on my own if I decide to pay for any workshops or classes this summer. NOTE: Some events could not be listed because the date to apply has already passed.
