Over the past 2 years- 3 8th grade classes (approximately 385 students) and over 11,500 global visitors navigated our blog to post pop culture connections, review lessons, watch videos, and leave comments. Thank you global guests, students and staff for sharing your learning on our blog.
We are proud to be part of the Edublogs community. Let’s Celebrate like it’s 1607, Colonial Style. We will set a date in class to bring in Colonial foods using authentic recipes. Volunteers will earn extra credit. Stay tuned because recipes will be distributed in class.
A very special thank you to 2 individuals that inspired me in immeasurable ways. Sue Waters, thank you sincerely for dedicating your time and expertise. I can always count on you to answer questions, fix glitches, and provide relevant, meaningful blog posts designed to challenge us to be better bloggers, 21st century learners and global citizens. 😀 Thank you, Kathleen Morris! The 2KM blog exposed me to compelling opportunities to improve student literacy, showcase student work, and share with an authentic global audience. Your students’ especially Bianca, thoughtful and well written comments prompted continuous dialogue centered around learning. Meet Ms. Morris and her students by visiting their class blog.

Happy birthday blog. I made candied orange peels for the colonial people. I made this because they did not have a lot of sugar.
For the Culture Shock, I decided to make corn bread. I’m excited to see what my peers made and how it turned out. Happy 2nd Birthday Blog !
