Dear Friends, October 2014
What a difference a month makes! The school year is now well under way, and we're back in the swing of things. But this is still a period of adjustment for many teachers learning to work with the Common Core standards. Change can feel overwhelming, and we want to help.
Last month we introduced "Keats & the Common Core," to show how the books and programs can be used to teach the new standards. This time we're taking a closer look at the EJK Bookmaking Competition. Next up: EJK Mini-Grants. Teachers and librarians, we hope you'll take the plunge - we know how much you'll benefit!

One issue that is sadly familiar is bullying, in school and online. October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and we hope you'll take advantage of the resources on offer.
