Happy Fall Break to all @OKCPS students! Don’t forget to read at least 20 min/day for the #ReadOKC Fall Reading Challenge!

Happy #WorldTeachersDay! One common theme we see in #StorylineOnline's library? Inspirational teachers. Sometimes children's book authors even base the fictional teachers in their books on teachers they had in real life. Which teacher would you write about in your book?! 🧐
