Hi Vonpaulus,

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your contributions. Now I don’t have to worry what will happen to SpiderID when the real world calls me to go participate. πŸ™‚

Oh, amico mio..
The real world is going to call on me, too..much too soon, I’m afraid πŸ™
But I will never forget the wonderful time spent here.
You guys have built a wonderful community. Something to be proud of.

You’re right. Considering the impact a teacher has on the lives of their students, we may as well be wizards. I only hope I can live up to the enormous responsibility involved. Fortunately, I’m not alone. I have a mentor who’s experienced in homeschooling and is teaching the hard stuff: English. Not everyone can be converted to loving spiders, it’s true. But we keep trying, and when we need a little spider enthusiast convention, we’ve got SpiderID for that. πŸ™‚ Have you seen Lucas the Spider? I hear those are really good for encouraging kids to see the cuteness of… Read more Β»
