We have so many fun things happening on our website. 

• You can view your children reporting the weekly news. 
• You can respond to a blog.
• You can play educational games.
• This month your children will work on Thanksgiving Dinner podcasts.  They will be writing these incredibly delicious essays on how to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner.  Very soon you should be able to hear them read the scrumptious directions!
