Welcome to Our Blog

Welcome students and parents to our first blog of the year and to be honest my first teacher blog. The main goals of this blog will be to distribute information to students and parents, to bring class content and curriculum to your students in a different and more media friendly way, and to provide an opportunity for the students to enhance their learning through different types of media. This might include watching a video on the blog, exploring different links or even posting comments and possibly blogging themselves in the future. I would like to stress that this is a work in process, that simplicity will be stressed in the beginning, that mistakes may happen, but with the understanding that great accomplishments come from humble beginnings.

Another purpose of the blog is to have fun and learn a lot about the world and each other. So the last part of this post will be dedicated to some interesting summer vacation photos either from this year or years past. Here are a few of mine. Feel free to vote for your favorite. Post a comment by putting the number of your favorite picture with your first name and last initial. Looking forward to a great year!



1. Careful


2. Perfect summer time activity!


3. Family!


4. Sliding through Golden Gate Bridge Park this summer.

    1. It used to be called California Wild Animal Park, but now is called San Diego Zoo Safari Park. This is near San Diego and I believe we went the summer of 2009. Incredible place with lots of animals. The elephant exhibit was one of our favorites. Here is a link. www.sdzsafaripark.org Just watched the cheetah video, impressive animal.

  40. one thing i learned from our lesson on maps is how to estimate a little bit better, because when ever we are trying to find the lattitude and longitude of the capital city of that country, on the vacation project, we have to estamite a number if it is not a dirrect visual number.

    Last week I learned about 4 different types of maps. For example: a physical map shows physical features of an area, mountain, rivers,
    lakes, or other bodies of water
