Adding parts and pieces

Dash Davis

Went walking with Dash thinking about technology and blogging and teaching and gardening and exercising and writing and national boards and well I could go on but really it would be a bit much.  Believe it or not walking clears my head.  Scary isn't it?! Suffice to say that I am experimenting with this blog and adding things, lots of things, which may or may not prove to be beneficial.  I want to thank all of the educators on twitter who keep posting things that inspire me and a, "thank you,"  and, " how do you do it???"  to all of the educators out there who have blogs that truly inform and are helpful.  That is my goal for this one but clearly we are not there yet, it's on the list....  On that note if you have students who are struggling readers check out the, Dragonblood, series by Michael Dahl.  My 6th and 8th grade resource students love them.  Also check out any of the books from Nox Press  (Junk Yard Dan Series, The Smith Brothers, Honor Series, Al's world Series) written by Elise Leonard and stay tuned for a post enumerating all of her titles. 

Twitter posts

I am looking forward to the new year and as this blog seems to becoming my online journal I wanted to add the things that I have found on twitter:
Many resources for reading/math/more all in one place! http://www.globalclassroom.org/ecell00/javamath.html

30 goals Challenge

The first challenge is to create a diary entry, I am looking forward to finding out what the other 29 things are (focused on technology and education)  I could use a little inspiration right now as Iam feeling that vacation is going too quickly and I am not feeling excited to go back like I usually do.  Need to focus on what that is about!  Tomorrow I will sign up for my retake execises to try and accomplish nation board certification.
