Back-to-School Resolutions

Well, here we are. 2008 is over and 2009 is underway! I, personally, am looking forward to the excitement that I am sure the new year will bring. I am not yet back-to-school, but I am looking forward to our new "Smart" classroom and am sure that we will find many exciting ways to integrate our education with the new software.
Hey kids- have you made any New Years Resolutions? I would love to hear what some of your goals are for this new year. Maybe you have a project that you have been wanting to get done, or maybe you have a personal goal like increase your instrument practice time or study more for Spelling! Or maybe you enjoyed the secret pal idea at Christmas, and it has made you want to something kind for someone secretly each day...? Parents, what are some of your goals? Oh sure, we all could lose a few pounds, but do you have any others? Maybe play a game for 1 hour with your kids each week, or turn 1 or 2 days of your exercise routine into a family outing? The bike trail is pretty all year long! We will be talking about resolutions in class a bit this week... something to look forward to!
Have you looked at the map on the lower right hand side? I can not believe all of the hits our blog has gotten over the past few weeks! People all over the US have been checking out what is going on in our class. I am still amazed at how, with the click of a button, we can connect with people every and anywhere! If any of you that are frequenting our site are so inclined, please leave us a comment. We would love to hear what you think and learn what interests you!

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

I have discovered that blogging can be a great way to keep others up-to-date on what is going on in my classroom, but is also a great way to get insights from others. I have a few blogs that I follow personally, and always find myself led to leave comments that may provide insight, ideas, or encouragement to the posters. I encourage you, the reader, to do the same for me. As you read, post a comment and let me know what you think. If you don't want me to post it to my blog, just ask and I will respect your wishes. However, the more I hear from you, the more I am able to understand the thoughts of the readers. Looking forward to hearing from you!
