Nibble falls in love - how nice. I love that little bunny. Will you let me read chapters 1 and 2 if I promise to get them done within a month? I'd take more but I don't want to be greedy.

Thanks,

M

Howdy,

I am a newbie. These chapters look nice and short for someone just sinking their teeth in. I'd like to volunteer as DPL.

Thank you for the offer, Heather, and greetings to a fellow ESL teacher.
I'm sending you a private message outlining some of the things you need to know as a DPL. Read it over and let me know if you still think this is something you want to take on. I'd be glad to have you on the team.
