Have You Tried Bananagrams?

As an educator, I love Bananagrams. I teach in a variety of settings from traditional classrooms to home bound instruction. I love the flexibility of Bananagrams. You can use it with one student or a large group.

Games fit the amount of time you have available - long or short. And the fact that it is packaged in a fabric banana with a zipper brings out a smile in even the most reluctant student.

Parents purchase this game to play with family, and its small size makes it perfect for traveling or keeping the family entertained when waiting in restaurants.

The inventor of Bananagrams gets and A+ from this teacher! - endorsement by Holly.

Nothing to Lose - Lee Child
ISBN#9780385340564

Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher never turns back. It's not in his nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So in Lee Child’s electrifying new novel, Reacher—a man with no fear, no illusions, and nothing to lose—goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead.

Arlene's Corner

In like a lion and out like a lamb is what I’m saying these days. The weather is looking up, spring is on its way and we are all smiling again! A big thank you is in order to Josh Stevens for writing my February column while I was away in New York. Speaking of New York, I had a fabulous trip with lots of work and fun in the mix.
