Happy Friday!! Before you know it, you're going to be stuffing yourself with turkey and pumpkin pie. Until then, I've got a few interesting reads for your weekend. Cheers!

...because my inner girl-power cheerleader is always looking for classroom books that are empowering for girls.

Links for tools, ideas, tricks, information and resources to help you teach.
In case you want it all and you want it delivered. Here it is.
