100 Day Project – Day 36 – 9:55 (This is yesterday’s posting.)

100 Day Project – Day 22 – 9:40 a.m. (a day late) When teaching is challenging, ask yourself what Mr. Rogers would do. (Those of my readers who know me, know that Mr. Rogers is my all time favorite person in the world – not counting family, of course.) I’ve had a great week teaching, […]
