Welcome

Greetings, 4th Block!

If you are reading this, boy are you lucky.... because you are a member of my 4th block class!

Thank you so much for such a peaceful outing at the end of the day last Friday.

No one decided to climb, yell, or talk.  Maybe you did a little, but you didn't disturb anybody else, at least not that I could hear.  Then, when it was time to come down from taking our family photo on the rocks (sorry, I didn't get the photos from Lucian yet.  I'll do that and post them here soon), Nathan and Xavier kindly stayed behind to help make sure Iris got down from the rocks ok.

Y'all rock.  (pun intended)

It was theee best ending I could have ever hoped for, after a long first week of school.  I know that ending my day every day with you is going to be amazing.  You have already proved yourselves to be thoughtful, kind, and courageous.

Anyway, here is your blog.  It's your place to write whatever you want to say.  Poems, short stories, chapters of novels, opinions, book reviews, essays (don't be scared by the word essay.  An essay is just an organized piece of writing on a topic you are interested in.  Your hobby speech was an essay, when you think about it).

Here are some more pics.  Sorry, I didn't get one of everyone.  Y'all were hiding out in some interesting places!

I hope you are as excited about this project as I am!  It's going to take everyone working together. Blogging can be tricky.  You'll get frustrated sometimes.  I'm not going to tell you everything about how to do it -- you'll just have to get curious and figure stuff out. You can't really do anything wrong, though, so don't be afraid to just try stuff.  There's lots of buttons.  Find out what they do. Then share your knowledge.  This is a collaborative project - we all have to help each other out to learn.


Oh, and the coolest part?  You get to have pseudonyms.

The other coolest part?  When you publish something here, the whole world will be able to read it. That's pretty crazy when you think about it! So make sure you have edited your grammar, spelling, and punctuation to be close to perfection.  Lucky for us, we will have some editors-in-chief to help with this.

If you'd like to be an editor-in-chief, please get an application from the back counter.  I need people who have a good handle on the English language, and enjoy helping others.

That's it for now.

Welcome to your new blog!
