Trying to blog...!

Okay, okay, this is my first blog and I'm not at all sure what to muse about. I hope to use this function a bunch this coming year with my students. Last year, I made them write their thoughts and opinions on note cards. This year, they will do the same and/or share three computers. I'll play Scarlett today and worry about that tomorrow.

My BIG push for this next year is QUESTIONING. The answers will come but I really want my students to be good questioners. What do they wonder about? What would they like to know? I've been getting a lot of pseudo-questions; those the students think no one else will know but they do...blech. Last year we worked on "Fat Questions" - those questions without one right answer. We'll continue to beef up the questions and see how far we can go!...
