2/21/11 President's Day

OK, Here goes.  This is the first day I have ever blogged.  Well I have lost what I wrote once already! So I'm writing for the second time!  I know that it means prehaps this will be better than the first!  I give credit to my daughter, Mrs. Gaby and Mrs. Ayres for their encouragement to try this.  Mrs. Ayres has a blogspot and I have been reading it and wanted to write on it but have not had the nerve.  I decided that this March was a good time to start. 
There is a challenge to write every day and in order to do it, I had to have a blog.  So here goes nothing! Mrs. Gaby started one some time ago and  my daughter did too.  So daughter, this one's, for you!  I have no idea what I am doing but you will be the first to see because I am not inviting anyone else at this time.  I will go a little more public when I feel more confident! :o)
It wasn't as hard to set up as I thought it would be.  But navigating is a little tricky.  I'm home today and working on grading and making corn bread and beans for us and Jeff & Janet Peterson.  I plan to go visit her this afternoon which by the way is time.  I must go, so I hope you had a great day! 
I am currently finishing up personal narratives with my 6th graders.  Some of them are pretty good. I'd love to have them share them on the net.  we'll see what happens.

SOLC 2012: 6 of 31 March 6, 2012 Sink or Swim?

Sink or swim could mean the same to many people and to others different meanings. How profound! I think in writing, to sink or swim would be to just get started and not stop.  What have you got to lose?    I went back to college when I was 39 years old to get my English degree.  I had a B.S. from college in Home Economics at that time, but was unable to find a teaching job so thought I'd add to my license so I could teach. Try going back to school with students who are approximately twenty years younger than you.  Talk about a challenge. Now there's one!   Boy, was I enthused!  They breathed life right back into me.  Most of them were very insightful and I learned to get right in with them. To cut a long story short, they would call me and I called them, and we made it through. The toughest part was creative writing.   I hadn't written in years.  No one had actually taught me to write.  The professor then wasn't teaching me either.  It was "sink or swim"

March 1, 2012 Was I blown in?

Image
As I lay in my bed yesterday,  I could hear the wind. It made me think about what I know about the wind. I can see it, I can hear it, it can touch me, but I can't touch it! There's, the cold blustery wind in Winter, The warm Summer breeze that goes by The casual breeze that carries the smoke from the fires of leaves burning in the Fall. Those are the “fun” winds. The damaging winds of tornadoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes can hurt property and people. Hopefully we won't have that this year. A little abrupt but I need to stop.  Happy Slicing! :o)
