Future Mentoring Spotlights: Would you like to share an idea at a future meeting?
The CCA would like to offer a time at our meetings in which teachers could share information about a classroom project or activity they have done which relates to topics within our theme.
Each might share for perhaps 5-10 minutes; just indicate to us the length of time you need and choice of Fall or Spring Meeting.
