Hello friends…

Miss you all as I have been in San Francisco most this week! We have had this blog for a few weeks. So far only one other person has made a post and a few folks have made comments.

This blog can be a great way to share information, help each other juggle and just keep in touch if we all try to use it. This week I would use everyone’s help knowing what’s been going on since I have been gone.

Let me know if you want to keep this blog running or not.

Thanks, Maryann

Summit Celebration!

Hope everyone had a nice break… I can’t believe it has only been one week since break. Last week had to be the longest week yet.

The kids have done a great job keeping up with all their work. How about us sixth grade mom’s jump back into the groove of sharing assignment information?

Regarding Fourth Grade Homework

maryanniannitti — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:52:21 +0000

Regarding 4th grade homework, does anyone have a good website or other resource for practicing the next set of states and capitals? Last week was a huge challenge for us. I’m curious to see how the kids did.

P.S. When I post a comment, what goes in the URI box?
