I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy.

Today we:
practiced a new program that helps the kids to improve on writing skills. I encouraged them to practice this program at home. The DWA is next Friday and any practice that they do will greatly improve their scores.

They should know their user and password. I gave it to them today. If they forgot it, you can email me and I will give it to you.
