¡Hola! Wow, it's been quite a while. As you can see, I didn't do very well with my goal of blogging at least twice a month. Last year was a difficult one.

As I've stated before, at my jr. high we have 7th & 8th grade students, so I've created this on a 2 year format . I alternate them each year (year A and B), so that the students don't get repeats. I've included links to differe
