Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

Shrink In The Rain? – “Getting wet isn’t REALLY what makes wool shrink;
it merely exacerbates the friction between the wool fibers, which is stronger

migrate in relation to each other in a process called ‘felting.’ ” (L:E;SA:S)
