To prepare myself for the horror of waking up to an alarm clock, I attended an optional technology training today. I won't bore you with the details, but I will share the Epic Reading app that I learned about. In a nutshell, this app is the gateway to a one thousand plus book library. Families can sign up for a paid subscription, but a classroom subscription is offered free to educators (that say that they work at an elementary school, wink wink). The books cover a variety of interest and lexile levels. The app is available for both iPad and Android. Check out the video below.

Epic Reading
I apologize for being MIA for a few weeks. I have been wrapping up my month long travel adventure as well as getting situated at home. I am gearing up for in-service training next week followed by the beginning of the school year. Where did the time go?
