Summer Professional Learning

So far this summer I have enjoyed some time of relaxation but also learning! I am participating in becoming an official "Google Educator." I've joined a Professional Learning Community and have been learning through self-guided courses as well as with others in the Learning Community.
Additionally, I will be taking a week-long course in iPad in Education training.
Of course, summer for me involves lots of reading! In the first week off of school I took the time to read several "non-children's" books, which I don't usually do during the school year. I also have been reading and working on questions for next school year's Battle of the Books club, and considering books for One Book, One School.
I hope your summer is full of relaxing, learning, and reading as well!

Summer Reading

Just because Prospect MRC is closed does not mean children won't have access to amazing books and resources! Make sure to visit the Clarendon Hills Library this summer!
Their theme this summer is "Paws to Read." Check out their website at http://www.clarendonhillslibrary.org/id8.html
