Guest Student Slicer - Jasmine

Summer, Summer
In the summer
You can ride four wheelers
Horse, even your bike
Or skateboarding
Maybe even swim
And play with animals.
Those are all fun things
For summer, but the best
Thing to do in the summer is
Spend time with
Family and Friends
Because you never know
what tomorrow brings.

March 31, 2011 Celebrate!

I know it is sometimes difficult for my students to come up with ideas and I want them to know that it is sometimes difficult for me as well. Writing isn't always easy for me either.  I have to dig deep for ideas. Sometimes it is about myself, my family, my pets (even though I have none at the moment- I can write about the ones I have had), my hobbies, my children or grandchildren.  I have to stop and think about what I am going to write about. Today I was so excited to see the class and the students in my 6th grade Language Arts class.  They bring excitement and life to class.  I look at them and see potential for the future.  They care about each other. Oh, that doesn't mean that they are always nice to each other, but they act like siblings and they at least respect each other most of the time. They aren't rude and nasty. I appr...
