The Day Math and Reading Got Hitched!

This workshop will help you get more out of your teaching minutes as you link mathematics, reading and writing.  Strategies will be shared to help you use your class time even more efficiently by showing you how reading and mathematics share the same toolbox. Come and experience a wide variety of activities, games and literature resources that you can use right away in your classroom this fall.  Your experience will be guided by Wisconsin elementary teachers just like you!
