Angelina just showed me the blog and I am so excited about it. I'm looking forward in getting information on what's going on in the class. And any helpful hints in helping my daughter in anyway possible : )
ReplyDeleteJohn Miller,
ReplyDeleteI think this website is a very well thought out and helpful site that Quevan and I will use. Quevan loves to learn new words and make freinds. Quevan told me about this wonderful website just as I came to her house. I am a trucker so I don't get to see her that much.
We are glad that you guys are using our class blog! It is such a great resource to stay connected with our class! Keep checking back....
