In the month of November, my first post was on an Australian class blog. My assigned post was for their teacher's birthday. There was a video sent from an American friend to wish her a happy birthday through song. Her students made her a "blogging" birthday card. It was a great way for her students to see the benefits of using technology and I could tell through the pictures that she really enjoyed her day.
My next post was for Safa in Ms. Gaudet's class. Safa posted a short story titled "Love Between War." His stor was based in the middle east and about a child who was separated from his parents in a bombing attack and years later reunited. Safa did an excellent job writing the story. He used many descriptive words and it was generally gramatically correct. I was very impressed with his ability to relate to what is going on in the world today.
My next student was Marigrace in Mrs. Melito's class. Marigrace's post had three parts to it. In the first part, she described how to find the degree of a polynomial. The next, she wrote about her favorite way to multiply polynomials. In the last part, she wrote about the three things she is most thankful for. She did a great job describing the mathematics portions. Math can be a difficult concept to grasp and even more difficult to explain to someone else.
The fourth student was on our Special C4K student, Yasmine. In my assigned post, Yasminesummarized a book that she had checked out from the library. She did a great job hitting all of the main points without going into too much detail. She is a very talented young writer and I could see her going far in a writing profession someday.
My last student was Amy in Mrs. Huebner's class. Amy wrote her post on what she had learned about Christopher Columbus. She gave us the explanantion of how Native American came to be known as "Indians." Amy was very excited to tell about what she had learned because it was from a relative in the line of Christopher Columbus. It's great to see kids this excited about learning history when they are able to see how it applies today.
