Reminders:
- At the last parent/teacher conference, several parents had indicated that they would like to receive the blog message through an email reminder.  I have tried to initiate this from my end, but I was unsuccessful.  Please do this yourself by opening up our class blog.  On the top right-hand corner, there is a bar that you may enter your email address “to receive the blog through email”.  Please let me know if you have further difficulties.
