K-12 Classroom Resource of the Month:
How Sentences Work: An Easy Guide to Writing Effective Sentences

Your classroom visuals set the tone, express your values, and reinforce the rules and key ideas of your class. We know that classroom visuals can also serve as a valuable learning tool. Their presence is a constant reminder of various basic ideas that we want students to absorb through the visual cue.

Please feel free to use any of the visuals in our Classroom Resources.

Wishing you a successful school year,
Amy Benjamin, ATEG President
