Why Blog?

A blog is a wonderful tool to use for journaling your thoughts and ideas. You can also use it as a questioning tool that the students can use to respond to. As a classroom teacher, I also use it to communicate with parents and other teachers. Our second grade class has corresponded with a teacher from New Zealand, and we have learned about where she lives and shared with her too!

Home at Last!

Our family had a wonderful vacation that literally scanned many states along the way to California. We were able to view the breathtaking mountains of Colorado, the beautiful plateaus and formations of Arizona, the astounding arches in Moab, Utah, the Grand Canyon, and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. We found Sand Dollars, shells, and rocks along the coast too. I enjoyed walks and runs right along the ocean shore. We saw dolphins, seals, and porpoises. The seals were sunning themselves via an inlet on the shore. We also had the chance to go wakeboarding and skiing on Lake Elsinore. It was a blast! However, after 18 days away from home, it feels REALLY good to be back. I am ready to get back in the swing of my regular workout routine and prepare for the two college classes that I will be teaching. God is good all the time.
We have so many things to be thankful for. I had a super time with my family:)
