Smilebox Rocks

So I've had lots of time to play around with Smilebox over spring break and I have to say... I love it!  It's so easy to find an aesthetically pleasing way to send updates home to parents about things that are going on the classroom.  Plus the layouts and provided pictures are great for decor in the classroom, especially if the teacher is looking to highlight important upcoming dates, achievements, or simple lessons that need to be available to the children at all times in the classroom (such as high frequency words or vocabulary words for the week).  I love using it, it's easy to operate, and I think it inspires a lot of projects.
