Thanksgiving

We had an awesome Thanksgiving! We all try to bring something to add to the meal. Today was my turn to cook the turkey. Since this isn't something I do all the time I was worried. But as usual most things that you worry about don't happen. The turkey was great!

I am so thankful that I can spend time with my family. They are really nuts. You will always hear a lot of laughter. Of course if you don't fix something correctly you will hear about it.

My nephew Brent and his wife Natalie are expecting. So we are very excited about the first grand baby. Nine months seems like a long time.

Blog Use

I will continue to use this blog as a personal blog. This is a great way to share thoughts. I want to work more with videos and uploading them. I will set up a blog at Edublogs for students. This is the site that our district recommends. I want my students to be able to share their work with the world. How awesome is that!!

Podcast

A podcast that I enjoyed was Room 208 Podcast -- BONUS SHOW: The Flood of 2006. It was so neat to listen as the students and teacher tell what they experienced during the flood. It was such a great example of turning an event into a learning experience. What a great opportunity for the students to respond in a positive manner to a flood!
