Could it be a Google Doc that you would share with them? There probably is even a way to adjust the permissions so that they can comment on it...
Tami teaches in Mexico. :) I have no idea if they have something similar to our state standards.
Today!!! Kiddos left an hour ago, but we have eighth grade graduation tonight, so I'm still here (not worth it to drive home and then back...
Are they being split by their ability, or by their language proficiency? I would think that is actually two very different things. If it's...
My (tiny) high school offered AP Calc, Accounting, and Consumer Math (balancing checkbooks, calculating interest, etc.).
We've had a horribly dry May. The farmers got their crops in, but in some places it hasn't rained since. We finally got at least a little bit this...
