More Projects: The Story of Noah

It's a joy to see many of you have created your blogs, which are now (finally) connected to our site.  Thank you.  We'll work on getting the rest of you on board this week.

Sorry I missed you Monday.  Ms. Inskeep, our substitute, is a Parkview grad, and she left me a note about how wonderful you are.  Another thank you.  You have started your Noah projects, and I'll be anxious to help today (Wednesday) as you continue work, finish up, and post them to your blog site. The key here is choosing a site which is easy to share, like Google Slides or Prezi.

If and when you have finished your project, I have one more "community building" challenge for you.  Bloggers often like to publish information about themselves, and one way you might see this is in a post entitled "101 Things About Me."  I know 101 may be crazy, but how about 10 interesting, little known, classroom appropriate facts?  For 10 points credit, give it a try!  It's a great way to get to know each other.


10 Curious Things About Me

I learned to blog 10 years ago when I broke my ankle and my wrist and started a new school year at home. I communicated with my class through a weblog.

My childhood nickname was Barbie and my first boyfriend was Ken.

I live in a menagerie with my best friends Artie, Miles,and Simon, two spoiled dogs and a cat who keeps them in line.

My first weblog for my students was focused on literature, and my beautiful golden retriever posed for pictures, dressed as the characters we were reading about.

I am a better driver today than I used to be. I once sideswiped my sister's garage while trying to park her car, but when I backed up to get a better aim, I ran over the water meter!

I don't like heights or snakes.

I enjoy cooking for my family and friends.

I lived in my current home for almost 29 years, the longest I've lived anywhere.

I love travel and would love to spend the summers wandering the globe.

I enjoy a cup of tea with a good book and the company of family and friends.

My vegetable garden is dwindling. I discovered my dogs like tomatoes and squash!
