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.

FINAL BLOG POST FOR YOUR 8th GRADE YEAR

My goodness, where has the year gone?  I feel like a moment ago, I just met you all and you stared up at me while I introduced myself, trying to be funny, and none of you laughed- blank stares..Maybe you were nervous about starting 8th grade or a little overwhelmed. But not true anymore. Now you all DON'T stop talking and joking around and you are more comfortable in class than I could have imagined. 

I am going to miss you all.

I will miss Conner's random history lessons and Ellis's questions. I will miss Kelly's filter-less thoughts about Reggie Bush and Ash's SHOWS (but I won't miss being scared on a daily basis). I will miss Vlad's dance moves and Carina's laugh. I will miss Wyatt invading my personal space and much more. I will miss Will's participation and help along with all the girls who volunteer on a regular basis. I will miss you all more than i can say but will save all that for a more appropriate time.

Use this YOUR FINAL BLOG as a reflection on the year-

1. What lesson or unit have you enjoyed and why?
2. What topic was the most interesting to you? Explain.
3.  What do you wish we learned more about?
4. What from class will you miss next year?

And anything else you want to reflect on, please do! Make this your LONGEST BLOG POST EVER!!!!

I am going to miss you all.

I will miss hearing "Debatable" on a daily basis. I will miss the constant talk of food from Scout. I will miss hearing 6-pack talk occasionally! I will miss how often you all help me out in class whether it is Malindi and Geddy reading or Raman and Sami passing out papers. I will miss all of you tons. In fact I will tell you all how much I will miss you when the time is right. For now, I want you to use this blog as a reflection on the year.
