Friday June 10 Update

I've introduced the older children to some fun, creative websites that let's them try their hands at writing books and making music.  When the children finish a project, I'd like to post items here for parents and friends to enjoy.
Mason B created a Wimpy Kid and it can be viewed at this site.

Students have also enjoyed playing on Storybird and Isle of Tunes

I have a whole page of fun sites HERE.
