Daily Assignment #72: Begin Again

Hello Everyone,
Welcome back to another school year.  I'm sure it feels like the summer zipped by.

I know that some of you have started thinking about the upcoming year and some of you are still in a vacation mode.  So as not to overwhelm you, at this time with a new strategy, I am going to do a bit of a book promotion.

Here goes------

To all teachers, seasoned and new, I have published a very helpful resource book:  Daily Assignment:  70 Effective Teaching Strategies At A Glance.  It's a great book to remind you of those strategies that you may have forgotten, or have never tried.  The perfect book to keep on your desk as a reference for the effective strategy needed to clarify or improve instruction. 

I hope you will take the opportunity to visit this site:   :http://www.bookemon.com/book-profile/daily-assignment/126409.  I know you will find the book useful in the upcoming year.  (It also makes a wonderful gift for the new or seasoned teacher that you know.)

Best Effort,
Linda103
