You work as tech support for ancient supernatural beings who are trying to adapt to the modern world. It’s a frustrating - and at times dangerous - job, but at least your clients pay well.

A mark on your forehead identifies the god you must worship to stay alive, usually by joining its local church or temple. Your mark is unknown, meaning an old, forgotten god sponsored you. To survive, you must either find an old temple to worship at, or do the arduous task of building a new one

It’s my first Valentine’s Day with a wife, although she’s been my Valentine for seven years. I’m a big fan.

Hi-Lo books are high interest, low reading level books that bring engaging material to reluctant readers. Over my career as a teacher I’ve used books like these in many capacities. They’re the perfect quick read for students who’ve forgotten their silent reading books. They’re accessible for English Language Learners. They’re perfect for alternative programs and teens who struggle to find books with relevant material in language that doesn’t slow them down/ bounce them out completely. The contemporary range of hi-los from @orcabook deals with a huge variety of important and difficult topics by an incredible range of authors, including Canadian powerhouses @ericwaltersauthor @carriemacwrites and @robinstevensonwrites
If you’ve never looked into it, you should check them out. A large variety of teaching material and lesson plans are available on the Orca Soundings website.
