Click here to access the EpicPals blog page with this month's download.

This month's EpicPals boards are now posted on the EpicPals tab!

This year's EpicPals will run the same as it has in the past with just a few small tweaks. This year, just like last, all posts will be moderated for student safety. Please see information below about posting. The other change this year is that there will only be one #EpicPals document created each month with 6 titles each month. The titles chosen each month will be appropriate for 1st through 3rd graders depending upon their reading ability and will always include at one or two read-to-me books so that everyone in your class can participate successfully on some level. I'm also working to incorporate English and Spanish titles when I can. This month you'll find TWO! Also this month, I linked the EpicCollection link at the bottom of the Google Doc. I hope this will help you to get the collection in the event that Epic has not approved it. Happy Reading Everyone!!!

Malchow's Tech Bytes 👩🏻‍💻 ~ October 4th

 Week 2 of CrAzY~ my 2nd building was informed last Sunday afternoon that we were shutting down and moving to virtual Monday morning. On Monday, we found out the entire district was shutting down as of Wednesday and moving to virtual (as had the majority of districts around us). Needless to say, WI is not in a good position right now and the sad realization is that the cases are not coming from the schools, it's community levels that are shutting us down. We are tentatively down for 3 weeks and crossing our fingers that we'll be back in our buildings with kids at that time. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 (Everything crossed!) 

I hope there are some tips and tricks that you will find useful this week for whatever environment you are currently teaching in.
