Flickr

I have been taking pictures throughout the semester for my Educational Technology class. We had some pretty random topics, so if you are interested you can check out my Flickr account. One topic that we were supposed to take pictures of was Fargo. I took a couple, but I really wanted to take a picture of someone walking around outside in ankle deep snow with nothing more than shorts and a sweatshirt on. I think that would depict Fargo nicely, don't you?

Holiday Plans

I went home for Thanksgiving break. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving was my little sister's birthday, so we went out to eat to celebrate. On Thanksgiving day my family and I volunteered at the Thanksgiving community dinner at my church. We served Thanksgiving meals to the less fortunate and whomever else came in for a lovely meal surrounded by friends.

I spent the next day with my high school friends, catching up and enjoying each others company. The rest of the weekend was spent working on homework and projects for my classes. Overall it was a wonderful weekend.

Build Yourself Wild

This is from the website Build Yourself Wild. You can have students visit this website to create a self-portrait or cute monster. After students create their person you can have them write a paragraph or paper about themselves or their monster friend. This could be a fun activity at the beginning of the year to help you get to know your students.

Winter

It's October 4th and it is already snowing! Will this be an early start to winter? Hopefully not, I love snowy activities, but please, can't it wait until late November at least?

When it snows I love to build snowmen, go sledding and ice skate. Snow ball fights can be fun, but someone usually gets hurt. Therefore, I tend to avoid the flying chunks of snow.
