Mrs. Beaver’s Blog

What do you do to cure the winter blues?

I know I love to play outside with my daughter when it is warm enough, but it has been so cold this winter!  So we’ve had to turn to indoor activities.  Some of her favorite things to do are stamp and make crafts, play dress up, play grocery store, tea party, and puzzles.  It’s such a joy to watch her learn new things!  When I have time to myself, I like to stamp, scrapbook, and make cards.  I also love reading and can really get lost in a book!

So, what do you do on these cold winter days?

What does Veteran’s Day mean to you?  Be honest!

Welcome to my blog!  I hope to use this blog as a discussion area for my 5th grade students.  I will post a question of the week which students will be encouraged to respond to.  Students will also have the option of submitting their creative writing for publication–and anyone in the world might read it!  Eventually, I am considering posting a daily or weekly summary written by students.  This will allow parents and other family members to keep up to date about what we do in the classroom. 

Please feel free to post comments on anything you see here.  I am always open to suggestions about how to make this blog better and more useful to my students.
