Proud as a peacock

This is a quick post to let you know how proud I am of all of you. In fact I am as proud as a peacock!
We have had network problems at the school for the past two weeks. You have not let it deter you though. You adapt, find solutions, and go right on with your commenting and blogging. You're storing it on Word for the time being but we will get it moved over to your blog.

Mary made a great podcast thank you to Lani and it even includes music.  Let's listen!

Michael created some dynamite idiom sentences. His are not posted yet but hopefully will be soon displayed on his blog. They need to be celebrated on the class blog right now. Here goes:

Cut your eyeteeth on them: To acquire wisdom in blogging. I cut my eyeteeth on blogging.

Old Hat: Out of date. My October posts are a old hat.

Sweep you off your feet: To make an impression. I always sweep the audiences who read my post off of their feet.

Take off your hat to someone: To admire someone. My commenters take off their hat to me.

Walking on air: to be very happy. People are walking on air for my posts.

These are fantastic! The kicker is that Michael is going to do a post at home about a creative way he and his mom came up with to help him with his learning at school.

You were all having a blast writing your idiom sentences. It was so much fun walking around and joining your conversations and having you share your work.  Terrific!

Other highlights today -

Victoria and Tina are also working on extra posts that they want to share - all of this is about their learning and the fun they are having with that learning.

Emmy and Johnny took home CDs full of pictures and other goodies highlighting the good work they did at the legislative event.

We missed Eddie who was absent this week. Hope to see him next week!

Well I said a quick post so I need to get back to work. I'll close with one of Victoria's idiom sentences:

"I get a shot in the arm when I am blogging."

I couldn't agree more! How about you?

I just found your class' blog while researching for a class I am developing. I am so impressed by all of your students' work! The podcast summarizing the legislator interviews was great. You are also doing a terrific job showcasing their work and giving positive feedback. Thank you for sharing all the exciting things happening in your classroom.
