Hello Again!

All of these messages and connections are wonderful! Debbie, thanks so much for the quilt tips. Sounds great! I'm going to try them. Martha, I've been looking for language help for a year now. That's great information.

I've truly enjoyed hearing about all of your summer adventures, some extended Alaskan adventures for sure! My post-Alaska experience was a trip "home" to St. Louis, MO. It was great, but I picked up some ticks while hiking and am slowly recovering from "tick fever". ICKY TICKY!!! So, I'm a little behind on the news.
The best part to me is seeing all of the enthusiasm you have to use your new experiences with your students. They are gifted to have teachers like you! I'd love to see you all at work in your classrooms - I'm sure it's truly dynamic.

Check my August edition of Teacher Times for new lessons. I could still use a few more quilts - although I'm overwhelmed at everyone's participation already. Thank you so much! These villages will be honored at your efforts.

Happy back to school. Keep in touch! Keep blogging!
Wag more, bark less,
Jane

Jane, hook me up please! Now that I know how to pull this quilt off, I will certainly give it my best shot.
With my internet webpage and vodcasting it will be easier to get intouch with the school you assign me.
I am very excited!
On another note, I was researching grant $$'s and came across some opportunity that may apply for us. I will share the link on a later post.
