Now here’s a new feature on the blog that we are trying out.  It’s called FRANTIC TEACHER DOWNLOAD.  For those times when you might have some unplanned time.  Click on the FTD button and you will download a PDF of a short classroom activity based on the blog post.  If readers like it, great.  If not, the famous dustbin of history awaits.
