Month: September 2006

  • Where Did September Go?

    So the last post was the day before the computer lab opened, and now *blink* and its the end of September already – yikes! Its been an awesome couple of weeks – the labs are humming with business, Open House went well, and some of our Staff Development initiatives are under way. Wow, what a month!

    Its only the beginning – there are some new projects in the “hopper” that look exciting. A lot of interest in video already, and its going to be cool.

    October, here we come!!!

  • Welcome!

    The computer lab opens for business tomorrow morning – its been a busy start to the year, but we are ready to go (for the most part – seems like there are always “loose ends” to take care of!).

    New question – now that we have settled in for a few days, what are you most excited about for this school year? What are you most looking forward to?

  • Summer Haiku

    Welcome back, everyone! I’d love to hear how your summer was – so let’s try it in the form of ahaiku haiku. I’ve read up on haiku a little, and the “rules” for them are not set in stone – but typically one is set with 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and then 5 syllables in 3 lines, along with a reference to the season. Here are some from me:

    Teachers get the time to be learners in the summer – I had a great opportunity to go to Calgary, Alberta to learn in-depth about SMART Boards:

    Learning is so sweet
    Water the brain with knowledge
    Sunny Calgary

    It is also a time for teaching – I taught two workshops with Mrs. Calandra on Internet Safety, and one on SMART Boards:

    Time to surf and play
    Keep those predators away
    Use your brain always

    But the best part of summer was with my family – my kids are 3 and 1 – time with them is awesome:

    Warm sunny hazy
    Children laughing on the swing
    Lazy summer days

    So, I’d like to hear from you! How was your summer – leave a summer haiku here in the comments.
