Hello fellow bloggers!

     This has been a trying
 
week for me. My youngest GREAT granddaughter (age one and 1/2) had her tonsils out. She hasn't been doing well at all...will hardly eat- and drinks very little.  She won't eat off a spoon at all, but will eat a few bites off the princess mirror that comes with a Happy Meal!



 
 
 
I have been trying to understand how to "get-my-name-out-there!"
Have some good supplementary materials to place on Shelfari-succeeded in getting one done! 
     I tried to add my blog to Teacher Portal, but kept getting a "database error" message. I contacted them for help.
 
     Managed to get a Networked Blog widget.  So-o-o-o, I am getting there slowly, but surely. 
     Does anyone have experience with these sites? If so, are they helpful to you?
 
 
     Working on lessons for January and February. I thought I would try something new relating to Presidents...I have a series of America's First Ladies units.
 
A new way of looking at the Presidents and life in the White House.
Pre-civil War First Ladies #1  Gives a glimpse into the lives of  the first sixteen First Ladies. 
 
First Ladies #2 spans Civil War to the Great Depression.
First Ladies #3 is presently in progress. It will cover First Ladies from Eleanor Roosevelt to Michelle Obama.
 
 
"Four Great Men" analyzes the cultural, economic, religious and occupational backgrounds of four of America's leaders who were assassinated in their prime. The idea for the lesson is from the song, "Abraham, Martin and John." written in response to the deaths of Dr. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. A lesson based on music...
