Your reflection is so true as I can see from my son’s progress in your classroom. The technology tools motivated him to enhance his expository writing among other things.

Nice idea!
Today’s MS assembly we had puppet show. I think the students love it at the beginning, but later to them a little too long. Maybe the MS multitaskers can’t do only one thing–watching. If there is a […]
