I checked with all of the teachers and they had nothing but good things to say about how you are doing in their classrooms. I just wanted to say thank you for being responsible and trustworthy and for doing a fantastic job. You all are awesome. Mrs. Greene

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I know you all had a great time editing photos.  You can do it at home too!!!  Here are the links to the FREE editors that we used.

Picasa3 is downloaded from Google.  If you have a Google account, you can also store your photos online.

 

 

 

The other two photo editors are online and you don’t have to download anything at all. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you’ll check these out at home and create some amazing photos to share with your family and friends!!
