  1. I'm using it! I get the notifications sent to my phone when there is a new post so I don't forget to check things out.

    It's nice to hear what the kids are up to--it sounds like you are having so much fun! It's also helpful when kids miss several days of school. :(

    Thanks for making the blog, I know it is extra work in an already busy day.

  2. Thank you for taking the time to comment Jean. It is so nice to hear that you are finding it useful. It is quite fun to update, as it lets us reflect on what we have done together with the students, and think about what fun awaits us.

    The students have even started coming to me and requesting that I post some of the videos, etc. that we have shared in the classroom onto the blog for them to share with their families.
