Now that I'm back from visiting grandkids in Atlanta, I can catch up on everything
(or at least try to...).
I guess I am not alone! I was wondering if children are taught to alphabetize any
more. I had two piles of book cards (yes, we still use them!) that were in
alphabetical order and had to be interfiled. I gave them to two students with
instructions, and got them back completely out of order.
Thanks for helping me to see the humorous side!
