I'm writing my first ever blog entry. I am excited and hope that it reaches all of you. If it does, then I'll try to import a picture or two...
After I returned from Alaska, I had to finish up at school. My last meeting was on July 5. Then I got ready for my birthday on 7-7-7 (same as Sally's). Lots of 7's on that day.
Now I'm finally feeling like summer is beginning.
I read all your blog entries and I, also, had an experience in Alaska that was a "forever" one. My hope is to make a power point presentation that I can share with my former students at a picnic in the end of summer (when I will present half of them with their Iditarod musher's autograph!) and my students in Spetember. Making a power point will also be a new experience for me.
In a few days, I'm off to spend several weeks with my family in Michigan. Then I'll go to yet another conference (this is my fourth since March 2007) in Massachusetts because we are implementing Investigations math this September. Does anyone use this curriculum? Do you like it or dislike it? Why?
I'll read the blog every now and then this summer. My mother has never sat at a computer or owned a computer, so while I'm staying with her, it doesn't happen. But now and then I stay with a sister or brother who does have a computer...and then I catch up.
Again, I am so happy to have experienced Alaska and the Iditarod with all of you. Thank you, Diane, for such a great time.

Cindy,
This is my first blog, but must confess, Tee is setting here by my side. Just like the good teacher she is, helping her mom, to learn some new age techology. Wow! How scary this is. Maybe I can eventually go all the way and send you all a picture. However for now this is it!
It was great getting to be you and all the others.

Cindy,
Hi! I didn't answer your question about investigation math. We don't use that and I am not familiar with it. Last week, I attended a five day training on direct instruction of reading. A trainer came out from ECRI, the Exemplary Center for Reading Instruction. I sat in a classroom with 20 colleagues from 8 to 4:30 EVERY DAY! I know that you can't imagine me being quiet for that long, especially after two event filled weeks of Alaska and California.
I hope your vacation goes well and you enjoy your family time.
