  How did it go? BTW, I have used my deck of cards from the Y a ton! They are great. And they remind me of Jim every time I pull them out which is awesome.

  So welcome! I am finding myself quite productive in the small hours after getting up to my daughter – you can thank her! I realize I haven’t posted the kids pictures and text. I think I will make it into a Voicethread and add it. How did it go with your third graders?
