We are so glad to be with you today. We look forward to working with you this year. We have much to share with you. We will be blogging this year. The blogs give us and opportunity to share information with each other. This is "your" spot on the web with resources to help you this year.
Thanks, for being here and for "All" you do for the kids of Madison County.
Tina, Rhonda, and Carol
Let's practice blogging:

Hello how are you today.
I agree totally with your quote - one never stops learning.
I tink the illitterrate wil b those of you tht cnt work wit tekno stuff
They need to know math also!
This is really neat!
I am a firm believer that those who do not learn or have the ability to relearn are illiterate. Our world is a constantly changing place and as a society we must learn and adapt with it.
