Yes these things ARE just as important as books!! Actually more so. You learn more with ALL of your senses than just using one on a 2 dimensional page. <BR/><BR/>But I'm preaching to the choir. <BR/><BR/>Coming as a past student and a current parent, you are my kind of teacher!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660761635166286074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-6726415952409134672009-03-01T09:30:00.000-05:002009-03-01T09:30:00.000-05:00FYI, Did you know that they have a place in ST.

I find it bland and just slightly more tender than rubber bands. Fried it's OK, but if I'm going to consume all of the fat and calories of fried food, I'd rather have something tastier.Doug Taronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08537881828742937167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-87896713205385162092009-02-28T07:49:00.000-05:002009-02-28T07:49:00.000-05:00That Cruel Girl brand is for cowgirls.
