Dear teachers,

We are so honored to be with you this school year. Here at Scope, we spent our summer creating new digital tools, so you can use Scope seamlessly—whether your students are in school or at home.

Here are a few of my favorite offerings:

• Interactive activities you can use with any LMS
• Slide decks you can copy and customize
• Podcasts your students can listen to anywhere, anytime—to build engagement and knowledge
• Choice boards to easily customize and differentiate culminating tasks

No matter what this year brings, I want you to know that we will be with you every step of the way. Our mission remains what it has always been: to infuse your teaching life with joy and simplicity, and to foster a spirit of curiosity, connection, and wonder for your students.

As always, please reach out to me anytime. I would love to hear from you!

Warmly,

Kristin Lewis
