Educational Blogs & RSS

Mrs. Cassidy's Classroom blog (1st Grade)http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=1337

This blog impressed me because the teacher not only talks about what the children are learning in class and from classrooms around the world, but she also gives the children a page where they can "write" about their own day.

The KinderKids' blog (Kindergarten)

http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=51141

I liked this blog because it asks for input from the blog viewers. Many posts ask for readers to participate in whatever lesson the class just learned about. Example: "Can you help us find more shapes".

Manaia Kindergarten

http://manaiakindergarten.blogspot.com/

This blog seemed to be mostly for parent information (which is a good way to communicate with the parents). But the more I looked at the blog, the more I saw that it shows/talks about what the children are learning in ALL areas of development. The academic lessons are in there, but so are things like physical/social development and talents of students.

Forgotten

2009-03-31T21:18:00.000-07:00

I wonder why Murderers do what they do.

When did they lose the Light of the Lord?

And liars, how come they say what they say.

When did they lose the Truth of the Word?

Why do thieves start to act how they act.

Aren't we taught to love one another?

Why did a portion leave with Satan, The Devil

When they could have been saved by Jesus, our brother?

Our world is in shambles for only 1 reason

They've forgotten our Heavenly Mother and Father

Hugs & Kisses

2009-03-31T21:14:00.000-07:00

OH, HAVE MERCY!
Just give me the Hersheys!
I'm not gonna be subtle.
I dont want to cuddle.
Your kisses are nice but
I just want the chocolate

Your hugs are divine
and I dont mean to whine
but
PLEASE HAVE MERCY!
Just give me the Hersheys!

Serious Injuries

2009-03-31T21:00:00.000-07:00

cut down deep

where no one can see

put on a smile

but inside i bleed

"it's just a boy.

they're stupid", they say.

"you will feel better

and better each day."

they just dont know

how bad it hurts .:ME:.

these aren't paper cuts

but serious injuries

The Drive-In

2009-03-31T20:53:00.000-07:00

Warm Summer nights.

Turn off car lights.

park in a spot in the big parking lot

Tune the stereo

Make it blare, YO!

Lay on the hood

Hope the popcorn is good

The movie starts playing

and you turn and start saying

"I forgot my candy stash,

do you happen to have any ca... SHHHHH?!"

Connections

2009-03-31T19:58:00.000-07:00

They say faith is like a seed
that grows within your heart.
But faith is more to me,
with the world falling apart.

Everything fits together
and you know just what to do.
Your knowledge is much better
and you know the Gospel's true.

So Whenever you're in doubt
and whenever you're afraid,
your faith in Jesus Christ
will always lead the way.

K, so I had to write a creation myth for English class and this is how it turned out. Tell me whatcha think:

Levitas and Thor

The Sky God had many children and he cherished them all. After he felt that his children were mature enough, he gave them a place in nature. His daughters were the clouds, Fire, Wind and the water of the earth. His sons were the plants and animals on the land below the heavens.

All of the Sky God’s children had matured enough to receive their place except for two. His youngest, who were born at the exact same time, were very different from each other as well as their older siblings. Levitas was a strikingly beautiful young woman who didn’t say much, but was mesmerizing to all who looked upon her. Thor, a corpulent young man, had a boisterous voice that could be heard through out the heavens. Out of the Sky Gods many children, these two were the only to ever fight.

After a long summer’s day of Levitas and Thor’s bickering, the Sky God came to his two youngest. All of the fighting had made his heart sorrowful for his children and he did not want them to end up with hate towards each other. The Lord of the sky banished his two children to opposite sides of the heavenly kingdom. Levitas was able to keep her good looks, but her father took her voice away. Thor was diminished to a spirit in the sky, but was allowed to keep his voice.

The Sky God had thought his problem was solved but there were things he had over looked. Levitas and Thor were able to meet each other and bicker when their father checked on his children below the heavens. One day, the Sky God heard a disturbance in the heavens and came home early from his journey. When he reached his place in the sky, he saw brilliant flashes of light and loud roars. The Lord of the sky knew his youngest had found each other, and he began to weep. To this day, Thor and Levitas still meet when they think their father will not find them. Every time they meet, The Sky God weeps. This is how we got lightning, Thunder, and the rains shortly after.

Circle of life...

2006-09-06T17:56:00.000-07:00

Looks that kill! Despise! Idolize!
They all start hurt, pain when someone cries.

The pressure's too much
And the weak cant handle
The strong dont care
As far as you can tell.

Looks That Kill! Despise! Idolize!
They all start fights, brawls that never die.

The names and the hate
Tear friendships apart
Seems like the norm
Ripping out someone's heart.

Looks That Kill! Despise! Idolize!
Their lives look good, great like a prize.

The clothes and the friends
Ya, you want it all
Be careful, watch the circle
You'll be the next to fall...

Looks That Kill! Despise! Idolize!
They all start hurt, pain when someone cries.

Senses

2006-09-06T16:35:00.000-07:00

Listen Closely and you will hear my thoughts.

Look Harder and you will see my emotions.

Ask Me and i will tell you my feelings.

Away

2005-07-01T20:40:00.000-07:00

Cant you see its me and you
Forever True
You know what to do

Just take my hand and lead me away
From this crazy day
To a better way

Together we can always dream
Blow off some steam
You know what I mean

Daydreams in the sun
Don’t have to hide, don’t have to run
You know you’re the one

Time

2005-07-01T20:29:00.000-07:00

Leave me alone
Just go away
There is absolutely nothing that I have to say

All of this hurt
That you put me through
Tell me, what did you think I would do

Maybe in time
I’ll forget and forgive
Invest my time in a better way to live
It won’t involve a me and you
But in time, it won’t have to

You told me that you wanted me
And I believed your words
But ever since you lied
I only listen to the birds

Maybe in time
I’ll forget and forgive
Invest my time in a better way to live
It won’t involve a me and you
But in time, it won’t have to

I Hold in My Hand

2005-06-23T19:59:00.000-07:00

I hold in my hand
Something round like a ball,
I hold in my hand
Nothing scary at all.
I hold in my hand
Different cultures and races,
I hold in my hand
People going different places.
I hold in my hand
Black, white, and yellow faces,
And they all live in different places
I hold in my hand
Loving mothers and fathers,
And all of their
Caring sons and daughters.
I hold in my hand
The rich and the poor,
I hold in my hand
More and more.
I hold in my hand
Everything and galore.
I hold in my hand…

THE WORLD.

I wrote this by myself & entered it into the Reflections Competition in 6th grade and won first place. This one is kinda what started off my poetry writing.

All I've ever Wanted

2005-06-23T19:51:00.000-07:00

After you first talked to me,
I knew that is was true.
That out of everybody here,
I only wanted you.

You made me smile,
You made me laugh,
Which I don’t do so much.
But I can feel the butterflies,
Every time we touch.

Our future’s undecided
But people see it’s true,
You’re all I’ve ever wanted.
I hope you feel it too.

Signs of Courage

2005-06-23T19:27:00.000-07:00

When Israel’s children play
With the bombs flying around.
When Harriet Tubman was helping
The slaves with the railroad underground
When the Americans started the Civil War.
When Rosa Parks sat down.
When Anne Frank hid
And helped others hide when the Nazis came around.
When the Navajo code talkers
Helped us with their slang,
They helped the world listen
As the bells of freedom rang.
People helping people
As the towers hit the ground.
Never ending endurance
As nine coal miners were found.
When little Ruby Bridges
Crossed the lines of segregation,
She helped to bring together
All the colors in the nation.
Standing tall and being firm
When peer pressure is on.
Doing what you know is right
No matter who does wrong.
Bending down to help a friend
That no one cares to see.
Knowing you can lend a hand

"Unto the least of these.”
No matter what your station in the world that’s all around
Signs of courage,
Everywhere you look they can be found.

I used this one in the Reflections competion in 7th grade. My mom helped out some. It didnt do as good at my first Entry but it was still and "Honorary Mention" piece.

Position of a Heart

2005-06-22T15:12:00.000-07:00

It’s chipped,
It’s frail,
It’s fragile.
Even a little worn down

It’s torn,
It’s cracked,
It’s fractured.
But it’s bandaged all around

It’s creased,
It’s ripped,
It’s stepped on.
And feels a little sore

It’s poked,
It’s prodded and bleeding.
I can’t take it anymore!

It’s on its last beat
But I hide it from you all.
Another heart is pleading
But my heart won’t heed the call

My heart is hiding everything
That it has ever felt.
It’s like it’s in a car
And I’m the safety belt

Maybe

2005-06-22T03:14:00.000-07:00

Our friends should stop the clatter.
They shouldn’t even care.
Maybe we should tell them off.
Do we even dare?
Maybe you should take me out.
Even prove them wrong.
Maybe you could be creative,
Write a little song.
Maybe you should kiss me,
To give them a surprise.
But just remember though,
This is only a disguise.
Maybe we will have some fun,
Maybe even joke.
Maybe, for the trick, they'll fall.
Maybe it won’t work at all!
Maybe I will fall for you,
Maybe you for me.
Maybe we will have our names carved into a tree.
Maybe you will think I'm cute.
I'm not a Southern Belle.
Maybe this is crazy talk...
Only time will tell.

Dont Leave

2005-06-17T19:28:00.000-07:00

What ya thinkin bout me?
What ya wanna do?
Just tell me what you're feeling,
Cant stop thinking about you.

You Made me fall and I fell hard,
I'm scared of being abused.
I've totally let down my gaurd,
and now I'm all confused.

The time is here, the time is now,
Just make the right decision.
Tell me all the why's and how's,
I promise you, I'll listen.

Please dont let this chance pass by
or my heart will break in three.
Hug me if I start to cry
But baby, please dont leave.

Epitome

2005-05-31T08:06:00.000-07:00

Blue powder suits
And frilly pink dresses
Awkward glances
And really slow dances
Spiked up punch
And bad refreshments

Only one night
To remember forever

King and queen dancing together
Other couples thinking they're better
Always on the worst kind of weather
After parties and those who cant stay
Knowing they'll stay anyway
Start the kisses and...
OOPS, cant say.

Gotta love the prom

For Me

2005-05-31T08:00:00.000-07:00

He did it for me
All the pain & the hurt.

He did it for me
The cross on his back, falling in the dirt.

He did it for me
I didnt know why he should.

He did it for me
Cuz he was the only that could.

He did it for me
I would have had nothing left.

He did it for me
And died a criminals death.

He did it for me
Cuz I know he is true.

He did it for me...
And he did it for you.

Never Regret

2005-05-31T07:55:00.000-07:00

Never regret
The laughing and talking
The smiles and hugging
The playfully mocking.

Never regret

The bright sunrays
And endless days
Of bashful ways.

Never regret
The words that were said
That are still in your head
As you lay in your bed.

Never regret
Being so bold
As those days are sold
To the good days of old.

Never regret
The lies that you got through
Cuz now you know not to
Your soul's been taught to never regret.

Suicide of the Worst Kind

2005-05-31T07:47:00.000-07:00

Puttin my heart out,
not caring what anyone thinks.
I've never felt this way before,
my excitement's on the brink.
Wanting to tell everyone,
but knowing that I wont.
Fear of being rejected,
I'm hoping that you dont.
I'm making a big sacrafice,
putting it all on the line.
Hoping and wishin that our thoughts combine.
Giving you my all;
Heart, Soul, and Mind.
But this could all turn out to be suicide of the worst kind.

An-ti-ci-payaya-tion

2005-05-26T09:50:00.000-07:00

Ahh, im so nervous right and, some of you know why. If you dont know then dont ask cuz I probably wont tell you =P
Have you ever wondered about this:
If there are more woman than men in this world, How is everyone supposed to get married?
That question's been bugging me for the longest time! Haha, with my luck, I'll end up unmarried cuz every guy is taken. Wow...that would really really suck =P

I'll Go

2005-05-24T15:43:00.000-07:00

I'm confused as much as you
and feel exactly how you do.
The problem is, you have no clue
about the way I feel for you.

I've tried to get you to a place
where we could talk in face to face.
But then you're gone without a trace,
as though you think that I will chase.

You get with friends and start the dissin.
Boy, you dont know whatcha missin.
Instead 0f this, we could be kissin,
just please, come over here and listen.

You havent even tried the calling.
U hestitating, keep on stalling.
I'm not gonna wait forever,
I'll go so fast. I can find better.

Generation Y

2005-05-24T14:25:00.000-07:00

This is the time, the place, the new age.
A new era, new verse, new page.
We understand it and that's all that matters.
We never listen to the grown-ups chatter.
We dont want attention, this is just how we are.
All we want is freedom, someone to raise the bar.
You might not know our language but we sure know yours.
All of the lectures is why we slam doors.
We may seem like we're not listening, but we hear what you say.
The fact is, you never shut-up through the day.
If you let us talk, we'll open up to you.
The sad reality is...you never really do.
