Of course transition is the word of the day! 🙂 I placed the word test in there just to experiment with the layout of the wordpress and working through some changes to make thing more accessible to everyone reading.

Questions – when I post a new restaurant review, would you like to see the newest blog at the top rather than the bottom? I put them on condescending order from top to bottom, but that does mean some scrolling! 🙂

Check out the new reviews of restaurants visited over the Christmas holiday as well as last night! 🙂 Yummmm 🙂 I will begin a category called Museums soon and I think make it a separate category it does not get lost in the mix of other attractions!

This is exciting, on P2PU.org, thanks to Karen Fasimpaur we are starting a new class that will also be fueled by former, current, and present PAVE students. This will involve grant writing, and help teachers. THe description is as follows:

Student Grant Writing
A student collaborative project with high school teachers and students to write grants for selected school projects, driven by students. We would like some teachers and students to be involved! 🙂

Also, NCTE is coming for the Fall, and I hope to involve organizations like the Clarice Smith Initiative from the Smithsonian American Museum, as well as implement my Library / Technology courses into projects this year.

I am excited for the Literary Magazine that the students are putting together adding an international component to the magazine. If you know of adults,students, retired, that write poetry and a chance at having their writing represented in our literary magazine, we would love it! asflitmag@gmail.com or to me! We will cut off submissions March 01, 2012.

I think there will exciting developments in education in 2012! Regards to regarding, The Game of Thrones series I am on, third book, is by far deep and plot exciting. I just have to say, when the author gets graphic, he does not need to, the plot carries itself without the need for useless details with relationships, etc, that is disappointing. 🙂

Also, James Patterson has a new Middle School test out that continues his first book, “Middle School Years, the Worst Years of My Life” – it looks good! New Release Info

This weekend is all writing catch up weekend, so hopefully I will get to that point, caught up! Hope to hear from alot of you soon!

🙂
