Then it is frustrating. But other than that - no, I've liked changing things up. I'm old too, but I, like you have survived so many changes, and embraced so many of them. Change can be good, especially if we make it good! I love hearing about how you are changing things in your classroom. It always seems to be for the good!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-88028324949190583552014-03-18T15:05:35.890-05:002014-03-18T15:05:35.890-05:00Nice job!
