How do I expand my use of Gizmos?
Gizmos are online simulations for math and science topics, grades 3-12.

Gizmos lend themselves to group work, independent work, and whole-class instruction.

Integrating Social Studies into ELA for Elementary Teams
As we understand the importance of knowledge-building to improve students' reading development - and we struggle to find time for Social Studies in our elementary schedules - let's improve the integration of Social Studies within our ELA units.
In this workshop, we will unpack our existing ELA/literacy and Social Studies standards and practices, identify opportunities to bridge the subjects, and begin revising units to integrate ELA/literacy and Social Studies.
Participants are encouraged to come as teams to support collaboration around curriculum updates to implement in the new school year and will receive a 10% credit for attending with at least two other district colleagues.Center for Professional Learning and Curriculum Support -
