    It had really good ideas on how to incorporate thinking skills with children’s literature.

  2. Cynthia – FLOUR BLUFF ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was really helpful for me because I like to see my kids creative side come out as a way of assessment. At first I thought this was aimed solely for ELAR teachers but I can definitely use their ideas in my math instruction.
