Celebration!
The first one to leap in the water was Tosh! Not only did he (and mom) read the blog, but they established their own site and Tosh wrote about his trip to the Wild Animal Park. Notice all the rich details in his writing. I could see some of the animals, especially that enormous, blubbery grandpa gorilla. And I could almost taste that yummy dinner, but was annoyed by the buzzing bees. I wonder what sounds were heard when it was night in the big tent? And going up in a hot air balloon that goes higher than the Statue of Liberty? How fun! I can just imagine how tiny everything on the ground appeared. I’m going to try that this year.
You can find Tosh’s entry easily at the right of the screen under Learner Blogs. That’s where I will put all that come in so you can easily respond to other students. I think to respond to anybody you just have to log in first (after you have established a learnerblog).
With the anniversary of 9/11 tomorrow, I imagine you will have many opportunities to discuss this important part of our history. You know your child best and can discern the best way to pass on your impressions and values. Part of why you are doing this is to have a stronger impartation in the character piece, so take advantage of the day.
Mid-learning period visits start on Monday, so I will see all of you in the next two weeks. Have a great weekend!
