Welcome to the big bad world of blogging!

Hello everyone and welcome to our classroom blog. This blog will serve as a weekly online journal entry. It will be a way to earn points for Language Arts class but SO much more. It will be a way for you to get your voice out there! Every week there will be a discussion topic/question posted by yours truly and it will be your job to respond. Your response may be in direct relation to the topic or may be a comment about another student's response. The topics will vary but your job will remain the same. Respond to the topic in as much detail as you find necessary and in as genuine a matter as possible!

In order to receive the credit you justly deserve, when you post make sure your full name is listed.
Happy Blogging.

Week of 11/1-11/5

BLOCK 1/2 only....BLOG #10

Hello and happy Monday bloggers. Hope this weekend was great and filled with yummy treats a few old-fashioned tricks.  I will give you a choice for this week. You may answer one or both if you like

A.  How was your Halloween weekend? What did you do? Describe some memorable moments.  I took my two little ones to a Halloween party at the Bouncy Place and then trick-or-treated. Riley was Buzz Lightyear and Owen was a giraffe :)  Your turn....

B. What scares you? What are you truly afraid of?  For me, I am deathly afraid of rats and of driving off of a bridge into the water (Yes, I know my fears are far-fetched and maybe ridiculous, but they are still my fears..so that makes them valid.) Your turn...


As always, blog by Friday morning... Happy Blogging!

Week of 10/25-10/29 Blog #9

Block 1/2 Only:

In A Light in the Forest, Half-Arrow brings True Son presents to remind him of his Indian Home. He brings him corn so that he is well-fed; mocassins to be well-clothed; and his bearskin rug to remind him of his father and to be warm at night. 

If you were sent from your home and could bring three items to remind you of where you came from- what would they be. Make sure to give your reason for each!

Happy blogging- as always, blog by Friday morning!!!

Week of 10/4-10/8

BLOCK 1/2 ONLY
Greetings! This week I want you to be thinking about effort.  I am going to keep the topic broad so that you can write about this topic in any manner you see fit.  When do you give ALL your effort to something? When do you not? Are there times when it is okay to not give 100% effort? Are there times when you wish you had given your all? 

Use your post as a reflection on the topic, but please check your work before you submit it- everyone can see what you write, so you want it to reflect your best EFFORT!

Try for a few sentence minimum folks and as always post by Friday morning.  Happy Blogging.
