What Mid-Winter Break!

Do we really have a break tomorrow? What is up with that. I have come to believe that we are always on a break. We have only had one week since Christmas that has been a complete week. Got any cool plans for tomorrow? Tell me what you are going to be doing in your response to my blog. I will be working at church. Yup, I create the slide presentations for services and Lent is up and coming. I have been "chosen" to create the Wednesday Lent service presentations. Not sure how I got that job!! Guess I just can't say no.

In your blog today I would like to know what you think are the top two "alone-in-the-car behind-the-wheel activities besides driving." You can write about anything else along with this answer. Maybe enlighten us on an interesting experience you've had driving your car.

How is your picture taking coming? Please take the effort and enjoy the art of photography. I really love to take pictures, although I don't take enough time to take pictures. Which one of your pictures is your favorite so far? Have a great weekend and enjoy your time off. Take pictures if you haven't gotten yours finished!!!

I love a great picture!!

Ahhh! Another day of lovely Michigan weather. Last week we froze with single digit temperatures and this week it is in the 50s. Don't you just love it. So how is photography going? I know we haven't done that much with it, but I think you guys are going to like taking pictures and working with them in Photoshop. I want you to take a look at the picture below and in your answer to my blog write 5 things that you find interesting that make this a great picture. Look closely and study before you write your five things. Think about lines, color, placement, tone, etc.



In your blog this week you can talk about anything (more than just one sentence!). Also remember no funny abbreviations and no spelling errors. Along with your blog I want you to upload your flower picture to your site. Just checking to see that you can add pictures to a blog. We love pictures. You should probably resize the picture a bit and be sure that it is a .jpg. Other than that, it is a piece of cake uploading pictures to blogs. So....enjoy!

Have a great end to your week and enjoy the weekend. Anyone going to the dance on Friday? Do you really know what Sadie Hawkins is? Do you know where it came from? A bit of extra credit if you can answer those two questions in your own blog. NO cheating...look it up yourself.

Frustration

We made it to Thursday without a snow day. Very strange indeed! It looks like we just might have a full week of school...the first one since early December. As a teacher I just find all these snow days rather frustrating. I can't seem to get into the groove and get moving on my plans. Do you feel the same way? How do you handle frustration? I usually get a very large headache and clench my teeth! I get a bit short with people and usually just want to be by myself for awhile. You know to get back on course. What types of things frustrate you? My biggest problem these days is when someone asks me to do something and before I can get it done they have asked someone else to do it or asked someone else to tell me about it. Just let me do my job and I will be a happy camper.

In your blog today let me know a few things you would change about your education. DON'T say bad things about Sand Creek, just in general what would you rather have been doing at school. You know, different subjects, different projects, different times, longer hours, shorter hours, more hands-on, more computer classes, etc. Just let me know. I am always curious. But, please don't just tell me that you hate school and that you hate Sand Creek. Believe me, education is education no matter what school you are at it would be basically the same. As is in all of life...it is what you make of it. Make the best of every situation and life will be much better.

Have a great day!!
