If there is a tie, cards stay on table and the winner of the next round wins all eight cards.

March 17:

Say HI to your friends and share your writing and craft about your garden.

Friday, May 29th:

Time to catch up on anything that you didn’t get finished, visit the Special Teachers’ site for creative and active play, get some extra exercise and ‘non-plugged’ learning, or visit some of the optional sites you missed or really like. Happy Friday!
