Reply From Linda E. Neville  10/1/2023
Thank you for your post Karen Curlee!
My email is nevilleland19@yahoo.com
Our Presenters for this Tuesday are as follows:
Chapter 5: Rick
Chapter 6: Donna
Chapter 7: Karen
Chapter 8: Judith
Chapter 9: Linda

Also, there is a second Padlet: Resources for Light in August where I will be moving posts so that the first page doesn't get too busy. In addition, if you go to the far right side of your screen, you will see an arrow that makes a slide show and each column will come up separately to view. A small arrow on that page will help you scroll down the page to see everything.

Linda


It would be great to have an email address for our teacher here in the padlet and perhaps an overview of who is covering what chapters each week. (Not sure if I agreed to 5 or 6?)

Karen Curlee
