We are busy trying to keep up with all the challenges. Many of us are working on posts–some from last week and some from the first few weeks. Even though we are bit late in posting, we are still working hard and promise to publish all of our posts very soon.

We are learning a lot about blogging and starting to bloom as frequent bloggers. Writing great comments is still a bit of a challenge for us.We love Miss W’s suggestion of adding Compfright to our blog. It is so much easier to find and add images…and give credit.

Finding time to visit everyone is also a challenge. We are a bit disappointed because we haven’t really connected with one or two classes in particular. So if anyone out there wants to be our regular blog buddy, please get in touch. We’d be happy to visit your blog every week and comment on your posts.

We’re off now for spring break now! To those who celebrate Easter, “Happy Easter!” What are you up to for your spring vacation?

About the Author

Hello my name is Karen McKelvey and I am a 3rd grade teacher at Curie Elementary School in San Diego, California. I began teaching at Curie Elementary in 2002. I feel fortunate to be part of such a great community. I love blogging with my students as it provides them with an authentic audience for their work. Collaborative group work and project-based learning are key components of my classroom. I completed my Masters degree in Educational Technology from San Diego State University in 2010. Many of the concepts/pedagogy and technologies I learned about in this program, like learning management systems, Google tools, and blogs are implemented in my classroom. Technology plays a key role in the learning that occurs in our classroom. We don’t learn about technology, we learn with technology. Students are engaged in activities that incorporate writing, research skills, critical and creative thinking skills, and much more on a daily basis.

    For Sping Break, I got to go to Fresno to visit my mom. I also got to go to Stemmers Lane in Santa Cruz, Califonia. It was lots of fun. Me and my Dad went surfing and we got to jump off a big rock. It was awesome. Although my dad almost broke his board when he got back up the rock.

    I went to Lacinta in Palm Desert. I went to see my family. I spent the time at my grandmas desert house and swam in her pool every day. On Friday we went to the Dinosaur Convention and got to do a scavenger hunt to find the right dinosaurs to answer questins. I also got to go on rides and play mini golf. My cousins came that weekend and we made a dance show like on Dance moms. I had alot of fun in Palm Desert and I hope to go again soon!

    Dear Mrs.Mckelvey,
    I went to Lego land with my friend Jadyn and went on many rides, Sea world with my family and got wet, Inflatable World with Jadyn and stayed until it closed, had a sleepover with Jadyn again, went shopping for my mom, me, and my sister, and then slept for the rest of the nights in the couch bed and woke up early in the morning to watch TV. It was the best and really fun!

    Dear Mrs. Mckelvey,

    For spring break I watched 6 or 4 movies on my phone, worked on my house, and I had fun at a birthday party next to Macy’s and it was really fun. On Sunday I went to JCC and I went there to celebrate a sad day when 6,000,000 Jews died in the whole world and only a few Jews survived and it was very sad.

    For spring vacation I went to Disneyland. I slept over at the hotel for the whole week and came back on Sunday. I went to California Adventure for 5 days and Disneyland on Fri., Sat., Sun. both weekends. I got a princess makeover at the Bippti Boppiti Boo Boutique. I was Princess Diva. My favorite ride there was California Screemin. I screamed the whole time. It’s a huge rollercoaster that goes really, really fast. It was very fun!

    Hi! I had a great Easter with my family! My mom hid Easter eggs in the living room and my brother, sister, nephew and I went to look for them. My brother found the most eggs. Some of the eggs were plastic and had dollars in them! Others had candy. I found $5. During vacation we also went to Los Angeles to see my cousin. We went outside and played soccer and baseball. Hope you had a nice break, too.
