Friday Fragments: Episode #275

Wow--275 Friday Fragments posts, you guys!!

Can you believe it?

Thanks for being on this journey with me.

Leave a comment today and I will enter you in a drawing for something.

(No, I haven't a clue what it is, yet; I just came up with the idea, but it'll probably be a giftcard,

and I'll probably give away two or three of them.  I'll keep you posted!)

Is Taco Dip something people everywhere eat, or is it a regional thing, I wonder.

It's always a big hit here in Wisconsin.

The Difference Makers provided free childcare on Monday and Tuesday during parent-teacher conferences so that siblings could be out of everyone's hair during the meetings. 

Wasn't that a brilliant idea they came up with? 

They entertained more than 50 kids who dropped in and out over the course of six hours. 

Parents seemed to really appreciate it.

While looking for a resource for students this week, I found Top 25 Kid Bloggers.

Since I can't keep up with the blogs I already follow, I only looked at one, 

but it looked terrific.

"I can't believe how cold it is here" read a text that Kendall sent to me this week 

(from her Minnesota college). 

Heck of a time to realize that!haha

I wrote The Buzz About the Common Core State Standards this week. 

If you're a parent, grandparent, or other investor in children, I'd love for you to read it.

Kendall also wrote a really nice guest post about her canoe trip last summer, Pushing Boundaries.

Thank you, Kendall, for taking time out of your busy schedule to oblige me :)

Your turn!
