ABC Blook on Blogging

Anne Davis’s 5th grade students from J. H. House Elementary school in Conyers, Georgia, had created this b[l]ook. Browse through the pages, look at the illustrations as well as the words and get a feel of how these primary school pupils are feeling about blogging.
Especially like the ‘V’ entry:

V
video blogs, voice, viva, venture
nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Hopefully, in the future, our school will have video blogs. Video blogs allow you to show yourself telling the news stories, instead of you just typing them. Until then, we�ll have to voice our opinions as loudly and as clearly as we can while typing. There are also photo blogs and audio blogs. There�s a saying nothing ventured, nothing gained and we believe that. We always try our best. Our group has had a good venture with weblogs and hope we will continue in the future. Until then we say Viva weblogs!

Teachers’ Day 2005

today is teachers’ day, happy teachers’ day to all teachers 🙂
this is the first teachers’ day away from school, missed the students. yesterday, had 3 met ups with ex-students: (1)had lunch with 凯琳(03-5n1), glad that she’s doing fine with her course which she’ll be completing at the end of the year; (2)visited 冰容(04-4e1) at sgh, stayed and chatted with 1+ hours, glad to see that she’s recovering, condition has improved much since 1+ week ago. pray that she’ll get well soon and discharge from the ward; (3)went to marina south zhenfa live seafood after leaving sgh, about 20 04-4e1s were there. good n glad to see my students still coming together for gatherings. (some of you may be recapping the evening in your blogs, if you are reading this and would like a link, leave me a comment)
2 articles from 04-3e2 arrived in the snail mailbox: (1)can see the trust in singpost service by 珮绮、乐玲、詠薇 from the still-in-1-piece item that arrvied; (2)a nice little card made by 斯惠. 2 sms greetings arrived from 丽琳(04-4e1) n 世玮(03-5n1).
离校后还能和学生保持联络、收到他们的祝福/挂念,心中有一种莫名的滋味。相信这是缘分,所以也经常嘱咐学生要惜缘。哦,差点忘了,还有思佳的一则网记。以上一切的一切勾起无限回忆,在此再送上一句老话,”加油!加油!”,尤其是那些就快要面临考试的。保持联络 🙂
