EDITOR’S CORNER – The Games developed by the elementary students in the Gifted and Talented program are available at – build.bloxels.co (That is REALLY .co – not .com!!!) The site takes a WHILE to load, at least on the Ranch using Big Bend phone internet….. Once it loads, choose “PLAY FREE,” then “PLAY NOW.” A search bar will come up and you can enter the numbers for the games. The three games are: 65961255, 39078511, and 32791185. Not being a “gamer,” this Editor went no further and did not play the games. But, if you are interested, these are the directions. ENJOY! And if you ENJOY, call the Terlingua school and CONGRATULATE the Creators of the Games!!!
