Music for Your Transition Ceremony

Posted in Opinions,Thoughts,Uncategorized by on the May 10, 2010

apricotEvery year I ask the students what music they would like to hear during the slide show at Transition.  So this is your chance. Think of a good tune that captures the spirit of your class or inspires you as you look at pictures from this year.  Post your suggestions on the comment including the title and recording artist.

What are you GRATEFUL for?

Posted in Opinions by on the November 18, 2009

I am so grateful that I can walk and talk. I am grateful that I have these students to teach. I am grateful that I have a warm place to sleep.

Now…

Tell me, what are you grateful for? Think of three things and post them on the comment section here.

Two Stars and a Sigh – Ahhhhhh! FANTASTIC!

YOUR OPINION IS NEEDED!

This is the place that you comment on GREAT writing. Today, read the Book Reviews and decide which two are your favorites.  Then figure out if there one Book Review that made you sigh because it was so completely wonderful? AHHHH – you said! So follow this format and write a comment here on your three favorites. Also include a few words about a book you may want to read.

Your first name only. His or her first name only. Any book review in any LA class is fine.

  1. Star #1 -Name  the author (MMS student) of the book review. Tell why you liked it using two specific ideas from the book review.
  2. Star #2 – same as above
  3. Sigh – Name the author of the book review. Tell why it made you sigh.  Be specific.
  4. Name a book you might want to read after you consider what others have said about it.
