I am very sorry about your first email. I truly don't know how the email from last week was partially merged with information for the next two weeks.  User error I am sure.  Anyway, I want you to know I am attempting to send an email newsletter for the next two weeks as I am out of town for the International Reading Association's Convention from Thursday the 18th to Tuesday the 23rd.
