Dear Reader,
How do you decide when it’s time for a new phone? I’m pretty good at not getting distracted by the latest shiny, new things, but lately my three-year old Samsung Galaxy S6 has gotten very sluggish. And it’s starting to annoy me. So, I’m thinking a new phone is in my future. I’m sticking with Samsung, as I’ve been very happy with my last two Galaxies. This time I will look at the Note 9, and the Galaxies S9 and S9+. What do you think?
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

Back-to-school is a fun, scary, busy time for everyone, especially small children. Because transitions of all kinds can usually be made easier with stories, songs and poems, this week’s collection of poetry and sing-along songs is dedicated to going back to school.
CanTeach: Songs & Poems
“We’ve joined together as classmates / as the new year begins. / A year full of learning / while we become friends.” Back to school poems and personalized piggyback songs await you at CanTeach. The personalized piggyback songs include your child’s name and are sung to familiar tunes such as B-I-N-G-O or Frere Jacques. “Where is (name)? / Where is (name)? / Here I am, here I am.”
DLTK: Back to School Poems and Songs
“Kindergarten, here we come! / We know we’ll have lots of fun.” Celebrate school’s first days with nursery rhymes, finger plays, lots of sing-along songs, and even poems for parents. Each of these is also available in a printable format without ads, and the original songs include an audio clip of the melody. Many of the poems and songs also include links to related coloring pages and craft ideas.
