Blogging. Pt 1

Well done, 6th graders!

Strolling around the rooms, I gazed upon you all mesmerized by your computers, entering yourselves onto your blogs, sharing with the world your true person.  Keep up the enthusiasm and wander the nooks and crannies of the options to find what might else supplement your creation.

Tonight, I hope you have continued to enter information.  Tomorrow and this weekend I will gaze upon your creations.

If you have any questions, continue to ask away....that's how we learn and grow!

Literature Circles

I like literature circles.  Take 4 or 5 students who get to choose a book to read together.  Add multiple opportunities for them to share their thoughts, questions, and connections.  Continue to add time for reflection and extra thinking.  Stir in a little curiosity.  Sprinkle with effective communication.  And, of course, top it all off with bits of laughter!  Then you have a successful, and tasty, literature circle!

I look forward to hearing and reading more about your thinking, your responses, and your creative expressions on your blog!  Have fun with this!
