Teams and Team Pages

Class,
You are working very hard and seem to be making great progress on your team pages. It sounds like the teams are getting along very well with minor disagreements. Remember, if your team does not agree on something, there are ways to work out the issue. Compromise is a great way to begin working out a disagreement. If you and your teammates just cannot agree, please seek out help from the teacher!!!!
Don't forget the great blog that Mrs. Frenzel posted on Blogging. Please visit her blog again to improve your blogging skills. Keep up the Great Work!!! Let's make some really cool games!!!
