Hello All....

Due to seemingly inexplicable technical difficulties, we were unable to 
create a Daily or Weekly for that matter,
Report.
We hope to have all of these technical problems worked out by the time the school year 
continues next year....

In the meantime We wish to take the opportunity to wish all of our devoted readers
an Exceptionally Happy Holiday Season 
and an Auspicious New Year !!!

Daily Report Exculpation
We wish to apologize and explain the lack of an entry for this report for the last 8 days.
It has been very busy here in our class and school, to say the least, these last 8 days.
As a result, it has proven to be impossible for us to maintain our routine and make our Daily entries.
We will do our utmost to rectify this egregious wrong by creating a summative report on the activities of our class for the past 8 days.
With any luck and a fair amount of fortitude, this report will be posted tomorrow.
