Posting to this blog again!

Thought I'd start posting some of the quizzes and so forth that we're giving Double-EE for schoolwork done at home.

Note: When we post a quiz (feel free to use!), we'll show the answers in a separate posting. Helps a little! If these new postings, especially the quizzes, are helpful to you at all, please let us know.

We'll work to post to this blog at least once a week, mostly concentrating on schoolwork since our days are filled to the brim these days!
