I have been thinking about how I go about my language learning using Duolingo. Now that I’ve sustained my Top 3 position in the Diamond League for a few weeks, I’m rethinking my learning strategy.

BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR A GIRL: MEETING A UNICORN, by Amanda Evans, is a fun, colorful, and heartwarming book. The 30-page book is great for a read-along (or read-aloud) with the little ones under your care. I read it to my cat, Mr Pops, and he appears to be pleased by it.
