Docs, Guesses, and Hats – The Week in Review

Good morning from Maine where it definitely feels like Fall. This week I had to break out my stash of winter hats (my Canadian friends would call them toques). It’s cheaper to put on a hat and sweater than it is to turn on the furnace. Before I had kids I always tried to make it to November before turning on the heat. That made for some cold nights come mid-October. Now that I have little kids making it to October without turning on the heat is a win. 

Anyway, this weekend we’re putting on our hats and sweaters and going to watch a soccer game. We’ll also be spending some time playing in leaf piles as there are now enough leaves on the ground to make some piles. I hope that you also have something fun planned for your weekend. 

These were the week’s most popular posts:

1. Two New Google Docs Features to Note 

7. Tract – Project-based, Peer-to-Peer Learning
