Before there were blogs (and LiveJournal and MySpace and Facebook), people actually wrote things to be printed on paper. No, not to be read on e-readers, but actually paper to be held in your hands and read. These were called
books, and in smaller forms,
newsletters. Archaic, right?
I found a bunch of newsletters that I used to distribute on a regular basis to my students and their parents back in 1999, 2000 and 2001. There are some things that have held up pretty well, so I’m going to be adding them here – with some minor updates, I’m sure. I will have to re-type them, since they were written 4 computers ago and probably saved on 5-1/4″ floppy disks. (Don’t ask.)
Stay tuned!
