So I guess I forgot to share whats been happening in Mrs. Lindsay's 6th grade. LOL
The week started out with UEA, where I was able to hear Erin Gruwell speak about her experiences. What amazing things she has accomplished. I wished you all could have been there. So the "first day of school" was Halloween, with parties and parades which were a lot of fun to be a part of. Fri. I was able to teach a lesson on some of the Greek Gods. It was amazing how quickly the hour went. The students really seemed to enjoy all the stories. I just wished we would have left more time for the assignment but in the end it all worked out. Several of the 6th grade teachers swap their classes for social studies, so we have been able to get to know lots of students, which has made it that much more fun.

Why I Want to Teach
When I was a little girl, I use to love to go to the basement of my parents house where we had a couple of old fashioned school desks and a blackboard and play school with my friends. We would play for hours. And I loved dreaming about become a school teacher one day. Even though I dreamed of the day when I would be a teacher, school itself never came easy. I was always one of the students who struggled in school. I would work really hard to accomplish all my assigments and test, but no matter how hard I tried, I just didn't understand what was being taught. Luckily with the help of some wonderful teachers and parents, I was finaly able to succeed. Because I know what it is like to struggle through school, I want to be able to help other students, like myself, find ways to succeed, and Thank those who helped me.

Using Technology
One of the ways in which we will be using technology in class will be by creating blogs. Blogs will be able to allow students to be able to communicate with one another outside of the class about assingments or ask questions about a concept that they may not understand. Some assignments will also be submitted through posting a blog or give me feedback about a particular topic. We will also be using computers to play interactive games the will go along with our units, as well as looking up information for projects or reports that we will be doing.
It will also be a great way for your parents to see what we are doing in class. So I hope you are ready to dig in and explore the world through technology and share what you find.
