Peer Blogs

I choose to respond to Laura and Nicki's blogs because I have not spent much time with either one of them and would like to get to know them better! I discovered that Laura and I both have an apprehension to teach math, and we both like the book "Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. The coolest thing to me about her life are the boat trips to islands! That sounds like so much fun to me! I also noticed that she was apprehensive about the big writing assignment in the course, whereas I am really curious about that one. While reading Nicki's blog I became aware that we have similar goals for teaching English and reading. I really like how she phrased one particular sentence. She said "I want to be a part of the phase of a child's life where they build a strong educational foundation that will carry them a lifetime"  Like Nicki, I also noticed familiar tools such as kidspiration and a blogfolio. I also saw the possibility of using online pin boards as a possibility and I got kind of excited about that.
