Spreading my wings...ready to SOAR

My first attempt with Blogging...I've decided to give it a go and spread those wings.  I'll start by explaining that our elementary school mascot is the eagle. I feel like my classroom is my "nest" of baby eagles.  With that said- I will admit, I'm a regular Facebook fan. I have so many friends and family members who have created blogs and update regularly. I do find it fascinating to read what they have been up to from time to time.  Soooo...I decided that because I work so diligently each week to create a newsletter that I send home with my students, I must certainly be able to do the same online. Only better : )
Today I spent a lot of time browsing blogs. I found so many awesome resources that I felt like I could get lost within the creativity. I need to be doing these things in my classroom!  I searched all areas and subjects- you name it, I found it.  I then signed up for my account and am now ready to go.  My time today was pretty much focused on searching and gaining ideas. I also spent some time "playing" with the blogger tools to try and find a design that will best fit my "beginner" skill levels.

  1. Lauren,
    It is so easy once you sign up for an account to get lost in all of the blogs and what they provide. I too am a "big fan" of facebook and enjoy keeping up with what my friends and family are up to. Sometimes, it is very entertaining. Anyway, I have enjoyed seeing what other teachers have had in the way of new ideas. It was kind of enjoyable putting together a blog. It sounds like you had an enjoyable time as well.
