          I will be uploading documents onto this site from time to time for use at home. ie: spelling lists, writing prompts Most of the documents will be notebook documents as this is what I usually use on the smartboard. I am aware that most families do not have this software on their home computers but it may be downloaded for a 10 day free trial from smarttech.com. If you then feel it is something you would like to download permanently you may contact the school (Mr.Fitzpatrick) for a product key.
