=Welcome to Wake Reads!= ==

===This wiki is for K-5 classrooms as we celebrate Read Across America and is designed to form collaborative projects between the media coordinator, technology facilitator and classroom teachers. Teachers can choose from three projects to use with their classes. Remember to tap into the knowledge and expertise of th media coordinator and technology facilitator at your school. Once you have completed the project you will post your product to the wiki to share it with other classrooms around our district. This project will begin on March 1 and ends March 31.===

===Once you have selected a project, you will need to register, so that you will have access to the project pages. To register email: wakereads@wcpss.net In the email, make sure you include the project you would like to participate in and the grade level you teach.===
