I Have This Idea

Title: I Have This Idea

I have this idea about using this new Blogger account with my students. Each week, a different student will be invited to write their "Week in Review" post. The student will know on Monday that they will be writing about the week on Friday. Ideally, it will be completed on Friday during the Flashback Friday portion of the day. The student writing the post will not be writing the Flashback.

They can include photographs and links to work that was done...with permission of course.

Perhaps it could have categories. I will eventually discuss these with students, but these are a few that I have thought about.

A Little About Me

The student provides a little information about themselves.

The Best Thing About This Week

The student shares their perspective on the best thing that happened during the week.

The Worst Thing About This Week

Was there something awful about the week? Here is where they can share it.

Mathematic Mentions

A quick update on the math we've done. What strand did we explore? Was there a quality problem that can be shared for others to solve?

Literacy Links

What are we reading? What were we writing about? What is the word of the week? Was there a highlight?

Science, History and Geography

What are we learning about? Are there any links that can be shared from these subjects?

Physical Education & Health

What's going on in gym? Are we even having gym?

The Arts

Dance? Drama? Visual Art? Music? What's going on here? This would be a great place to showcase things created in class.

Anything goes really. I'll create them through September and then relinquish the responsibility to my creative class. It might fail...and that's okay. This year is going to be an unusual one for sure.

#HClass24 - It's automatic, it's systematic, it's hyyyyyydromalic, it's Grease Lighting! - December 3, 2024

Image
  Introduction:  Hello, my name is Takshi! This week I will write the blog for #HClass24. I like playing the guitar, reading, writing, and scrapbooking. I’m also an author of a novelette (It’s almost published). The Rose:  This Wednesday, we went to Saint Andre Bessette High School to see Grease Jr. It was a great musical and the class loved the songs. The actors were exceptionally good and what surprised me the most was the live band also made up of high school students! The band was behind the set, though you could still see it. Overall, the class loved the performance! The Thorn:   Our Thorn of The Week was the cold weather. Unfortunately, it’s extremely windy and cold outside. It also started to snow on Thursday! The temperatures have dropped into the negatives and the wind has picked up quickly.  The Bud: We will get another chance to hang out with our Kindergarten Buddies on Monday. My buddy is Arielle and I look forward to reading and creating with her. ...

#HClassBlog - "Mr. Song's Moustache" - April 21, 2025

Image
Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Anakin, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things, like playing golf, playing video games and sketching. I am more introverted so I prefer being by myself. The Rose:  We have enjoyed three, 4-day weeks in a row because of Easter and a PD Day. So, we got a nice long break from school and some short weeks in-between. It had to be the best part of this month so far. We also had our first Dance/Social on Friday. It was a lot of fun. Me and Taym trying some dance moves. The Thorn:  Unfortunately, our student teacher Mrs. Seaby has left us. She finished her placement with our class. The good news is that she is now qualified to be a teacher and she can get paid for her hard work. Maybe, one day, she could come back like Mr. Song did. She might even come back with a mustache like Mr. Song did – but probably not. Ms. Seaby on our Pizza Dough making day. The Bud:  We have been working with an ...

#HClassBlog - "I lost so much money in the stock market game" - April 7, 2025

Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Mason, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things, like playing basketball, playing the piano and drawing. I am an extrovert and love hanging out with friends and family. The Rose: This week, we started a project called “Holiday or Holinay.” Everyone in our class gets a certain day to research holidays that are associated with it. Then we decide if it’s (A Holiday) or if it’s just pure trash (A HoliNay). Each student creates an engaging presentation with ridiculous sound effects to help us make the presentation more enchanting. For example, I have May 7 which is National Barrier Awareness Day. I would call that a HoliDAY because it is a time to recognize barriers that exist for people with disabilities. May 7 is also National Carnivorous Plant Day. I would call that a HoliNAY because a plant has no idea it is a holiday. Sure, botanists and plant lovers might want to celebrate this day; but I think the...
