A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:
We're sharing excerpts from our Friday, March 5th issue of the Everyday Teaching Resource Pack, featuring Testing Resources we thought you might find useful as standardized testing approaches. Don't forget that this Classroom Flyer is only a small sample of what you could be getting each week in the Everyday Teaching Resource Packs. While the Resource Packs are being offered for only $2 a month (no minimum required), why not take advantage -- and gain a lot of teaching resources you can use in your classroom -- every day!
$2 /one month offer...
Cheers!
