- Bugs
- Sora and Public Library Connect errors- it’s a bug. OverDrive has corrected it. If your student experiences the error shown here, have them delete Front Range Downloadable Library from their Sora account, then reload it.
- Also a bug - Funny, You Don't Look Autistic. Our copies are not able to check out. Don't know why. They are working it.
- I love that we are testing the limits of our online resources. It will help the programmers make them more robust. It also means we are really using them - like, a lot! As in a 500% increase in use this month!

Elementary Curriculum Input
- Check out this presentation. Open to any teacher librarian. If this is something you want to be part of, complete the interest form by April 24th - today!
There have been a few modifications to the original plan, specifically:
- The Institute will be held virtually with a variety of opportunities for teachers throughout the district to collaborate.
- The timeline for the Institute has been extended for an additional week to provide participants ample time to complete the work. All synchronous tasks will be completed during the original time frame of May 26th-29th. All asynchronous tasks will be due by June 5th.
- Please note, the additional week does not mean that teachers will be expected to attend virtual meetings or complete additional tasks. This is only to provide participants with additional time and flexibility during this uncertain period.
Secondary Curriculum Input
- Open to any teacher librarian. Let Rae know if you want to participate.
- The spreadsheets linked below show the sequence planned, with a week-at-a-glance lesson plan linked within as each sequence is completed. Take a look and consider what resources might be helpful to share with teachers and students to help students succeed with the Prioritized Evidence Outcomes.
- Grades 6, 7, 8 Science and Social Studies
- High School Social Studies
- Add 3 links to the Content Sources box for each sequence in the spreadsheet
- Resources should be free and not require logging in or signing up
- The curriculum team welcomes OER resources as well.
- There is a Meet on Monday, April 27, 9:00am, to review the Curriculum plan and divvy up the sequences between interested TLs.
