O.K.... I have several mispelled words...which I will fix when I get back home, using a dictionary like my son has suggested. My mom and I are in Nice, France and I think I can now load up some more pictures into my gallary. Beautiful places....too many things to buy...too expensive....I need more money.... See ya later.

I'm in Rome...... City of Love......But I think Venice is the City of Love.... If I'ved had a guy...... but I had my mom... Having lots of fun anyway.

Here we are my mother and me at London. It was a 10:15 flight from Los Angeles to London. Long and tiresume flight, but we made it. Tomorrow we are of to Belgium... I think??? It was fun seeing the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. I have place some pictures at my gallary of the places that we went.

Well.... here I am surfing the net....looking for information that will be helpful when I take my European trip with my mother. I will try to blog all I can will on the trip. Right now I am trying to find information on the best way to pack and what are the essential stuff I need to take with me. So far I have found several site that have helped me. This is my first trip to Europe and I want to make sure I don't run into problems there. I will also try and download picture of the trip to go along with my blogging. I will be going with my mother and some friends from church. I know that we will have so much fun there.

Today we began celebrating Dr. Seuss 100th Birthday at Harrison School and it began with the principal reading one of his books. In my classroom I decorated the door with the picture of the book cover from " I Had Trouble in getting to Solla Sollew" and my students work a message on the bottom of the picture. One of my students, named Karen wrote a letter and a poem for him.

To: Dr. Seuss
From: Karem

Happy Birthday


Happy Bitheday Dr. Seuss
Hope you are in heaven with God,
And hope you have a great party.
Thank you for the books you wrote for us.
Here I wrote you a poem like the
Books you wrote.



"BOOKS"

Books are great,
Books are good,
Books are good for
Children and you,
Books are fun to
Read and learn,
And that is the
End of the poem.
I wrote.


Love,
Karem


We will always remember your lovely books.

We just finished a language arts unit on Imagination. I am addressing this question to my class to see what they have learned about imagination. What is imagination and how do you know?

It's amazing how the years just go by when you are having fun. Being a teacher and being around children has been the most wonderful experience I have had. I was in high school when I decided to be a teacher. After graduation I went to CSULA and got a job as a teacher assistant and 17 years later, here I am teaching and blogging. I can not see myself doing anything else, well..... maybe working for the State Department of Education... or............ Well, it's been an interesting time filled with excitement and .... well you know ....... fun. Well...it's been fun blogging... and for now I must say ... have a wonderful blogging day!

This is all new to me, but I am excited to learn how to use it. I still do not know how I will be using this blog site. I think I'll begin by posting pictures of my family trip to San Francisco. Give me some ideas about what else I should post.

I feel overwhelmed about what I just learned but I know I'll get it and use it someday!

Hello World!
