Learning Express Library

Learning Express Library

Elementary School I noticed only for 4th grade and seemed limited.
Middle School offered the  high school entrance exams which are great for students coming in from a home school learning enviroment.
High School offered a mutliple area for any student who would want to gain or improve their knowledge.

For our District the Learning Express Library is a great asset. Our Guidance counselor take the students to the site in a lab setting. Students are encouraged to do the ACT, ASVAB, etc. tests. It is a great way to expose our students what jobs are available,the knowledge you need for that field of study and lets students know if they truly are interested in that field of study.

My husband is looking at getting his electrician license and so I put him on Learning Express Library and had him take the exam 1 practice test. He was very impressed and so thankful to know what he needs to brush up on. His computer skills are the hunt and peck type and he found this site easy to manage.

I downloaded the  e book "Goof-Proff Personal Finance".
I found the book easy to access and gathered some rather great information from
"Not Saving Smartly for your retirement years"!

I would highly recommend this site.

Today

Shared a great moment with a teacher friend today.

I think it is so tragic about the incident in Arizona.
Makes me sad to think of how much anger there is.

Tonight.... putting a puzzle together.
