Happy August.

  2. I finally figured out how to get these podcasts onto my mp3 player so I can listen while I run and walk -- PD on the go! I got so many great ideas for lessons this year from this podcast - it was truly the surge of excitement I needed to prepare for another schoolyear! Keep them coming, Barbara!
