Blogging revisited

Hi Guys - Ok, this would not be up except for the help of Nicole. She is TENACIOUS when it comes to sorting out computer problems!!  Somehow Lori and Blayne had editing rights on my blog, not me (long story), but I after much persistence Nicole figured out how to make me the owner again. (thank you). This is a blog I set up six years ago (are you impressed?  Cutting edge Rowe!) before I started my year's sabbatical.  I started with great enthusiasm but petered out after three months as it did not appear that anyone was following it. (I later found that some classes were, but in a creeper rather than responder mode).  I started it up again on my 3 month leave last year but there was a glitch in the system (see above) so Lori created a Kidblog and I sent photos and travel chat to the kids on that. They responded regularly.
Anyway, I digress...  I found this morning's walk-around really interesting and picked up a couple of neat ideas to steal (ie. using 'Angry Birds' characters to make 3D shapes. more music in the classroom). Someone suggested that it may have been better to switch the morning with the afternoon activities as creating a blog would probably work better with a morning brain. I believe the most positive experience of the day was when I picked up one of the flutes that Kevin had set up.  After a few false starts, I was able to make a wee bit of music (I played the flute in highschool) and am inspired to re-learn the notes this summer.  Kevin has kindly agreed that I can borrow an instrument and instruction book. Anyway, yadda, yadda, yadda - you stopped reading a long time ago, didn't you, Nicole? - have a great weekend all. rowe
