Today is a funny day, it was supposed to be packed with family arriving from the States. But their plane got cancelled, and I now have a whole free day! Which is bad, but means I have a whole day free – ooo.

Been updating lots on the site this week, all the themes now have the worksheets and minicards accessible from the theme’s page, which should be easier to use. There are a couple of new ideas on the readers games page and I’ve started a monthly Mini-Lesson on the Kids Page It’s always a bit of challenge trying to balance out what to give away free with the site, and what to charge for, but hopefully everyone should be happy with a changing monthly lesson!

I’ve also had some really good emails this week, and they’re all like buses, one person writes and then I get similar questions several times in a row! One popular one is about using Movies in the classroom ( I wonder if Star Wars has anything to do with it??), and I’ve had some great emails about using TPR. I think I should push this a bit more on the website, as it really is a great way to teach – have a look at the TPR Warm Up game for starters.

After moving onto another server last week, I had another go at trying the discussion board. But getting it to work securely just didn’t work.

OK, now back to work on my secret new projects – stay tuned, they’re gonna be cool!
