 * “10 Bucks = 10 Great Teaching Ideas, Dollar Daze and Thrifty Finds” is a workshop that will help you utilize the magic of dollar and thrift store finds to deliver a novel study that “rocks”. Don’t let budget restrictions and the lack of resources and technical power dampen your enthusiasm and creativity. This workshop will demonstrate how the Teacher-Librarian and classroom Teacher can repurpose a number of finds to create teaching activities that engage student thinking, creativity, and reflection. **


 * Activities can be easily adapted to other novel studies. Small group discussions and opportunities for teachers to share will help you walk away with ideas you can utilize tomorrow. The buck stops here. Join us in this adventure. **
