Wow -lately I feel like I don't quite keep up on anything!  Clearly I need to executive function overhaul my life!  Welcome to the world of ADHD and teaching.

One of the things I'm behind on is my Nat. Geo Teacher Certification.  If you don't know about this program check it out!  It's terrific and free.  National Geographic Educator Certification

I did discover a really great new resource while looking into the poetry written by Chinese Immigrants detained at Angel Island for my 6th grade unit on Dragonwings - Listenwise
Here's from their "about" section:

Listenwise is an award-winning listening skills platform. We harness the power of listening to advance literacy and learning in all students. Our collection of podcasts and public radio keeps teaching connected to the real world and builds student listening skills at the same time.

We believe in the importance of listening for student success.
We believe in the power of a great story.
We believe in literacy for all.

Looks like Newsela but for audio stories!  I found several good stories related to Chinese Exclusion already.  So - that's my useful resource for the week,  month, however long it is until I post again if anyone out there is listening anyway since I don't advertise my blog much. 

What's a great resource you've found lately?  Share it in comments.  Anyone?  Bueller? 😀
