It's a small world...

So you really think about how small this big, big world really is....unbeliveable! Today, I was reunited with a very good friend that I haven't seen or talked to in 10 years! It had been entiely too long! With the technology today, you'd think that we would have reconnected somehow, someway....but not until today. My sister and brother-in-law were meeting with a financial advisor and the name sounded familiar and I guess through conversation, my sister discovered that this advisor was the husband of this wonderful friend I have been out of touch with. With an exchange of phone numbers, email addresses (and blog sites) - POOF! We just had the best converstation (well, one that can be had where there are needy little ones in the background asking for a snack every 3 minutes) and it's like we haven't missed a beat! Katie - I'm so glad you called and I know that we will FOR SURE be in touch all the time. Looking foward to seeing you soon and having our families meet. I have no doubt they will have as much fun together as you and I had in our McNick days (was that really 15 yrs ago?). I really have missed you! Here's to good friends....I wish I had some embarassing picture to post. I'll work on digging one up!

It truly is such a small world and I am very glad it is - otherwise we just might not have reconnected! I'm looking forward to catching up on all the lost time. Thanks for the very sweet post and know that the feelings are the same on my end!

Project 5 Task 1

 What are the benefits of blogging for students?  There are many benefits of blogging for students. Students can use blogging to express what they have learned about a specific topic in the classroom. For example, students have been learning about marine animals in science class. Students have been following the nesting of sea turtles in Hilton Head Island. They have each chosen a nest and have been following it on their website. Every few days, students read the progress of the nest online and then create a blog post on what they read and include images to share with their classmates.  Another benefit to students blogging is for them to be able to express themselves creatively. Students can create a weekly poem blog post where they find a poem they like, copy it to their blog post (citing the author and resource where they found it) and then summarize the poem and write about why they chose it and what they liked most about it.  Click the link below to access the Pr...

12 Days of Pinterest: Day 8

Day 8: 12/17/12 Ok, so I apologize for the break in my "12 days of Pinterest" posts. My parents were in from Ohio the last 5 days and we were busy celebrating Christmas (early) and doing all the St. Louis holiday things there are to do (lights, train displays, Christmas concerts....you know!). Today I am doing a something that when I saw it on Pinterest - I knew I HAD to do it! We have a ton of ornaments. They are currently on our tree (duh) but when they are in storage the other 11 months of the year, they are kept wrapped in tatty tissue paper in shirt boxes that are falling apart. Every year I say "I am going to get one of those "ornament organizers" (the ones you see at Target and Home Depot)....and every year when I go to buy one, I go into sticker shock! How can a piece of plastic that holds 12 ornaments be $20! Of course we have more than a dozen ornaments, so I went on a hunt for something cheaper! Here it is! It cost me $2.50 to make. I used cardboa...
