  4. I love the daily puppy! I have it on my site as well. The fish are great, but I think they're slowing down my processor. I really enjoyed the ESL resources. There are some great ideas within the blog. Many of your links weren't working, but I thought your comments we're really specific and helpful!

  7. The ESL blog is cool especially the topic about what is on the bee's back. This is good topic to get students thinking of what it might be. I also liked the first class schools site it has lots of information for materials in many different subjects. The colors of the blog go well with your adoptable puppies pictures. I like the fish as well no matter how many times I see them.
