LITERACY IN SPECIAL AREA CLASSES

Literacy strategies you can implement today!

Shayne Elementary Related Arts Team,

strategies for creating parallels between

Feeling safe is a basic and fundamental need

in every school setting. When students and
teachers do not feel safe, teaching and
learning cannot occur. What are the essential
elements of a school multi-hazard safety
plan? The need for educators to be prepared
for any crisis emergency begins through
planning and building a solid safety plan,
practice through drills, and tabletop
discussion. The issue of school safety is
necessary and important. Come learn
necessary steps and precautions you can
practice today to ensure the safety of your
school.

Kim Warbritton, Shayne Elementary

where gaps in student knowledge exist.
Even better, Moby automatically assigns
the appropriate lessons to target each
student's missing skills. Come learn how
to set up your classroom in Moby Max, set
a diagnostic, assign lessons, and more.

Our math standards require deeper math
understanding than simply getting the right
answer. In order to truly master the
standards, our students need to think
