Big Sigh of Relief

http://questgarden.com/87/68/1/090930074200/

The elusive WebQuest is complete! Long story short, I had to RE-CREATE the entire thing. Blech. But let me tell you, it's a load off my mind for it to be finished.

I thought I'd have some down time this weekend, but looks like I've got assigments piling up. So I have to be responsible and find playing time later.

My Life.







Great News. Good News. Bad News.
What do you want to hear first?!
Bad News. My website that I've been working on for my final project is down/broken whatever. I'm not sure what my next move is. I want my students to begin working on it tomorrow.

Good News. Ramsey went to the Homecoming dance last night and had a great time. Brittany was home for the weekend and played with Kailey and Emily. My 5th grade field trip to Fort Osage went well. The students asked great questions.

GREAT News. I just got my final divorce papers in the mail. I've just shed 275 pounds and am officially single again. Look out world!!!

I'm STILL here!


Last weekend we celebrated Kailey's 6th birthday! She had it all lined out as to what we were to do and the order in which we were to do it. My favorite part was when we each had to tell our favorite Kailey story.


School is in full swing and the students LOVE the projector. We haven't started our blog yet, but we WILL. I promise! Right now our technology has been getting in the computer lab and working on FASTT MATH. After practicing facts is when I want them to get on the blog. They did take my survey and loved it, so I need to get more of the surveys incorporated into my lessons.


STILL working on my webquest. I've tried several websites to work on, yet I can't seem to navigate them easily. So much for a Master's in Technology! I won't give up though.

YIPPEE!!!!

I was able to log into my blog on the first try!

So my projector AND Airliner is up and running! I don't know what I did without them. The kids are fascinated and totallly engrossed in learning. We've gotten through one big experiment (3 questions to discover) and the Airliner was a HUGE help. Much better than the overhead. Now I just have to be even more prepared and scan everything that I need to show.

Right now my WebQuest is at a stand still. I'm searching for more websites to use.

3 day weekend - here I come :)
