We change the tips each month keeping the previous month's tips available throughout the month. In other words, August and September tips are available now -- September and October tips will be available next in October.<P>Also, the dance quiz and puzzle is updated monthly. We have also started adding two to three new free clipart images.<P>I hope this helps clear up the confusion.<P>Dancingly yours!<P> <P>------------------<BR>Helping fellow teachers make their students feel extra special!
