Hey Kids,
I hope your weekend has been wonderful. I have added links to National Geographic Kids, great information and fun games, as well as, the much requested Dr. Seuss - Seussville. And, tonight I will tackle the photo slideshow and Flickr again.
Love Mrs. Wood

Sorry! Try, try again!
Sorry to disappoint I have been trying, with little success, to upload pictures to our blog as a slideshow. Currently I can not get the slideshow (which is 40 pictures and very cute by the way) to "load" I have been loading and labelling pictures, creating slideshows for quite sometime now I am heading to relax for a bit then to bed (it's 10:40pm). As I tell Ella and Logan you have to keep trying, "try, try again" so I will try to learn something new tomorrow and figure out what is going on and how to successfully post pictures.
Sorry kids. I hope you have a great weekend. Your parents can check out what we are up to with regards to academics in the next month in the post below.
