I really like what you've written, especially about short lessons. I practice that too.

Short and then increasing works!Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109300393740798932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229295722544456478.post-90382160028559591342011-05-31T13:06:54.829-07:002011-05-31T13:06:54.829-07:00That's a lot of topics for an ABC post!

You also gave me the idea of putting together a photo book or scrapbook of our school year. (Maybe I'll actually get around to doing something like that.) Thanks!<br />Here from Dawn's post, have a good week!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395906581830016475noreply@blogger.com
