I have to apologize for neglecting this Blog!

I have been using our class Twitter every day, and have not been writing this Blog as well as I had hoped to.  In the future, I will try and write a 'What We're Doing This Week' on Mondays.  I really do recommend checking out our Twitter page to see daily pictures and small snippets of our day-you don't have to be 'on' Twitter to check it out!  Click here to go our site.
