I always leave so encouraged in @BenchmarkEdu unit 3 - it is incredible to see kids integrating and synthesizing info about our laws and how they change. The future is in good hands with these @lottselementary leopards.

Thank you @KateHaddadEC for showing us how to split the screen with two Chromium tabs on @Promethean - it added a lot to our @lottselementary Read In day!
