I want to breathe!

This week has been difficult and I just can`t seem to do anything right.
I have a few classes that are getting pretty tough on me, I guess it wouldn`t be so hard if they weren`t all demanding. I`m not much of a computer person, so Excel and concatenating, and all this other computer stuff is confusing the heck out of me. My website is a disaster, all of my page buttons go to the very same page and nothing is spaced correctly. But overall, life is good and I will get through it and be a better person because of it.
Wish me luck!

China

The children in Mr. Cosand`s sixth grade class in China have a very interesting blog site. They are learning all about Ancient China and have gathered information on the technology and building methods, the great wall, inventions, and have so many resources. There is as much information about Egypt as well. Mr. Cosand`s class is also learning about volcanoes and earthquakes. He has included lab activities with a great collection of software and links to the Exploratorium and several libraries. This is a fabulous site for children with tons of resources. By far the best I`ve seen in educational value. I thought it was so great that I have my children involved and they love it! Be Amazed!

Sandaig Primary

Sandaig Primary School in Glasgow, Scotland has a lot of information for parents and children.
This is actually one of the best school blogs that I have seen so far as keeping parents up to date. They give so much detailed information. I learned about circle time, all of the children gather around and tell a story, each child adds his or her own sentence to make it their own. Later they went to the dinner hall for drama. Great imaginative play is so healthy for children these days. Then art of course, they draw each other and have exhibitions.
Each of the children have their own blog page within the school site, and they add to them daily as a part of their lessons. Amber says five things about herself and wants us to guess which one is fake. Jodie has just begun bagpipe lessons. Nicole wants to visit Egypt. You have to see this , they are so precious.

My First Website

I am working on my very first website! I am very excited about this, and so glad that it`s not as hard as I thought it would be.
I decided to do my website on opera, since I am a music major and I have to write papers on it anyway. Putting the website together has been effective in helping me to remember historical facts and figures. This is a picture from my web page on the opera Don Pasquale. Once it is finished, I`ll post a link.

South Valley Junior High

Great blog on history from Liberty, Missouri.
Mr. Langhorst`s eighth grade class has a blog on a book they are reading in history. "The Year of the Hangman". Mr. Langhorst is taking is slowly going week by week for the students and asking some pretty intense questions for eighth graders. He has also allowed the blogging community to join in the fun. He wants us all to respond by asking questions about the book blog project.
The students enjoy reading other people`s viewpoints and this opens them up to other ideas. They will be reading other books, so log on and join in.
Way to go South Valley Junior High!

Mrs. Kreul`s Class Blog

I found an interesting classroom blog.
Mrs. Kreul`s fourth grade blog has so much information, not just for the students but for the parents as well. She has included class reminders, parents newsletters, and tells parents all about what the kids are learning in each subject. In math they are learning about math facts- addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. They will also be doing a project called my memories. Where they will read a book and then brainstorm their own memories from it and write a paper. Here is a neat idea- all kids want to know what next year is going to be like, so Mrs. Kreul added a section on what fifth grade math will be like. Check it out.
