Print shop for RGR and EL
Don’t forget that you can order your RGR print shop and EL assessments for all modules here at the teacher hub. Just scroll down to the following button and place your order. I will no longer be sending out surveys for ordering because they are all there now. Reach out with any questions.
Tribal History/Shared History for 4th grade
A team of Bend LaPine teachers and local community members is working to develop a Tribal History/Shared History module for 4th-grade teachers. We are working alongside Jefferson County ESD, High Desert ESD, High Desert Museum, and Warm Springs tribal members to create a module that honors and represents the cultural diversity and experiences of the Indigenous peoples of Oregon. If you or someone you know is an Indigenous person who is a member of a tribe and would like to work on this project with us in any capacity (or just have questions), please reach out to Lindsley Gehrig.
