New Program Blues...

It speaks to our students, even when we don’t want to admit that it is true; however, I am learning that while I am a fan of using new technology with my kids, I am NOT a fan of new programs that I am required to use. For the last year and a half I have struggled with using a new lesson planner, one that was as buggy as anything. Now that I...

O-M-G! Seriously one of the best mystery novels I’ve read in a while. It’s not marketed as a mystery, but as the reader you are trying to put together puzzle pieces to see how they fit. Good luck with that! Happy reading!
