I went to the Deep website; totally cool! I am an elementary teacher and would love it if we had something like this in my area :) Better, still, would like to teach there!
That’s awesome! And thanks for liking our Facebook page. I love working for Deep, and have spent the last few years specifically working with out elementary kids and working on our elementary curriculum book. Working for Deep makes my heart so full. <3 We are gearing up to release TEN new books of student work from the spring semester–we are pumped! Thanks for the support, and maybe one day Deep WILL be in your area! (Also, check out thatwritinglady.com. It's our Executive Director's blog. You can also see our curriculum book there!)
Sounds great! If you ever want to know anything or need a teacher’s input, feel free to ask :)
