Meeting Your Student’s Needs
Depending on the needs of the students in a class, the teacher may want to scan any Teacher Notes into a digital format. By doing this, no matter the reading abilities of your students, they will be able to access the information of the text. When appropriate, teachers are also encouraged to allow students to collaborate on as many activities as possible. This allows all students to be successful without modifying the text significantly.

I love shopping here

I love shopping here for unique and interesting birthday presents. They offer free wrapping for gifts and the associate that helped me did a fantastic job of wrapping odd shaped items. She really took pride in the work she was doing.
