With our schools closed due to the Covid-19 virus, I want you to know that I am available to assist you in finding books to read, information for classroom activities, or any questions you might have. Also, visit our Databases page to access an assortment of free learning resources and our grade level Google Classrooms for even more resources and activities. Please email me if you need the Classroom codes.

April is National Poetry Month and we have a wide range of resources for you to explore at home here.
