Thing 1

The reason I am participating in 8 things is to be able to be up to date and knowing maybe just a portion of what my children have already learned in school, that I did not, (it's an age thing). I am very nervous about the 8 things, but I have got to just jump in. I really am excited about blogging, this is what our world has come to, unfortunately, talking on the phone, and writing letters is a thing of the past. One thing I have to be aware of, is that I have to be very careful about putting things out there that I do not want the world to know. One thing I will be able to use in our classroom (the gym) is that I will be open to NEW things, and blogging is a New thing for me.

  1. It's great that you're willing to jump right in and try something new! What a great way to model life-long learning for our students.

    I think there are lots of possible ways to engage your P.E. kiddos through a blog. I'm sure they'd love to see pictures of themselves participating in various activities.

    Isn't it interesting that our students will be more likely to turn to something like a blog, Facebook, or text messages to contact friends than a phone conversation or written letter? It definitely makes you think about what types of skills they need to be learning in school!

    Great start--Thing 1 complete!
