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!

Blog #8 1/31-2/4

BLOCK 1/ 2 ONLY:


When we read, The Treasure of Lemon Brown, we talked about things we cherish.
Tell your class 3 things you cherish or adore.  Describe in detail what they are and why you cherish them.

My example: I treasure and cherish my family more than I can say, I have two boys and a husband who mean the world to me, not to mention my mother and sister and even my grandmother- they are the most important people in my lives.  Another "thing" I cherish are my friends. My girlfriends are such a huge part of my life and I cannot imagine my life without them. Finally, I treasure the collection of old letters i have kept.  Some of the letters are ones I wrote as a kid, which I find so cute. Some are letters my parents wrote when they were young. I think that letter-writing tells so much about a person and what they are like at that moment in time, like a snapshot. I love reading them and Riley loves me reading them to him!

Blog #4 Jan 3-Jan 7

Block 1 /2 only!

So... tell me all about your vacation. What did you do? Fun times? Bad times? What do you wish you had done?  Let's swap stories.

I don't want to talk about the bad parts of my break, but I did take both my boys to DISNEYLAND on one of the most crowded days in  history- we still had fun. I love nothing more than running from ride to ride and eating all the sweets at the Magic Kingdom! MMMMMM.
