This week I am sharing a web link called “QuizList” to my classes that allows teachers/kids/parents to access the school library catalog and find out which books in our library have AR quizzes.

It’s been great incorporating some of her traditions such as “flat bread”, which was excellent with our 2nd day turkey noodle soup.

Steady snow through out the day. About 8 inches of fresh snow to shovel. Lots of good food to eat and four kinds of pie to sample. A friend of Bill’s from the college joined us for dinner and our neighbors across the street joined us for dessert and games. Erin and Katie knitting up […]
