program.

and enjoys being on stage and working behind the scenes. He sees acting as a
part of his future. Again, 150 hours = 1 high school credit = A.

Look at you all starting a blog. Warning: it's addictive!
ReplyDeleteI need to be more consistent with English from the Roots Up. I made the first few cards, we used them a time or two and then I quit. Not impressive. ;-)
I think everything posted made a great deal of sense.
ReplyDeleteHowever, think about this, what if you added a little information?
I am not suggesting your information isn't good, but what if you added a post title to maybe get a person's attention? I mean "2009-2010 Curriculum List" is kinda vanilla. You might look at Yahoo's home page and see how they create post headlines to get people to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to grab people excited about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.
