BURKE'S 'BEAR'Y HELPFUL RESOURCES
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE BURKE LIBRARY
In an effort to provide our families with resources to help keep our students academically engaged, I have compiled some of my favorite go-to sites that are interactive and that provide some practice in the areas of reading and language arts.
Please keep the link to this newsletter handy as this will be a working document that I may continuously update with additional resources.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me at:
Stay safe and see you all soon!
