Thanksgiving Feast Updates
The kindergarten team has met to discuss more detail about the Thanksgiving feast. Due to the additional PE time in the MPR, the amount of kindergartners, and with the tight school lunch schedule, we were unable to host the Thanksgiving Feast the Wed. before Thanksgiving as planned. We are looking at Friday, Nov. 21 in the afternoon for our Thanksgiving performance and have a potluck of homemade dessert and have a social afterwards.
On Wed., Nov. 26, with our students only, we will be having Stone Soup. I will send more information about that and what items we will need for our soup! :-)

Is blood red or blue?
Since we were on the topic of colors, someone on Friday wanted to know why our veins were blue...I wasn't sure if it was due to "exposure of air" (someone overheard in conversations) since the internet was down, but due to further investigation at http://www.globalclassroom.org/blublud.html,
"Blood is *never* blue. Blood is described as dark red (venous) or bright red (arterial). Our veins look blue because we are looking at them *through* our skin. The blood inside them is dark red and it doesn't reflect light very well."
Thank you, internet! Wow, when there is no electricity, you realize how much you depend it!

Classroom Wish List
Visit: Our Classroom Wish List
I am very excited to announce I found a website that I could post our Classroom Wish List of items we need! I am hoping with this website, we won't run into duplicates. This is my first time using this website program, so please bare with me!
From what I gather, it does not look like you have to be a member of Listigator.com to see or check off on items on our class list.
If you are able to bring in the item on the list, please check off the box on the left hand side; please do not delete the item or category. Thanks! And if you rather just tell me what item you can bring in, then I can check it off for you...but I would always encourage you to try new technology! :-)
Have a good night!

Kindergarten Funnies...
"Miss Yan, Miss Yan!" a boy called out.
"Miss Yan, Miss Yan!" a boy called out."Yes?" I replied.
"I put jello in my hair!" (He meant gel!)
-------------------------------
Mr. Hanley came into class the other day to talk about what his role is at school. He asked our class, "We all know what a teacher does, but what does a principal do?"
A little girl replied, "You just sit there?"
"Yes?" I replied.

Join me at the Light the Night Walk!
**PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A NON-SCHOOL RELATED ACTIVITY. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAY. THIS IS AN ANCHORAGE COMMUNITY EVENT.
One of the things I teach my young students is to help others. One of my passions in life is just that. During my college years, I helped start a community service organization, Alpha Phi Omega Co-ed Service Fraternity, at the University of Alaska Anchorage and currently serve as their Alumni Advisor. We are participating in the Light the Night Walk this Friday at the Delaney Park Strip at 5:30 (for registration, food, and festivities) and walk begins at 7pm.
I welcome you and your family to join us in supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The walk is approx. two to three miles.
Light The Night is the nation’s night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of patients battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds lifesaving cancer research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and many other types of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, that have helped patients live better, longer lives. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving the quality of life.
But more research is critically needed:
Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies.
Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer.
Nearly 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2007.
The survival rate for myeloma is just 34 percent.
If you'd like to join our team, please email me with the following information:
Name, address phone, email, and fundraising goal.

First Day of Kindergarten!
Kindergartners and their families enjoyed a story told by Mr.Hanley, our principal, called the "Kissing Hand." This story was about a raccoon who was starting kindergarten.
After the story, parents said good-bye to their child and gave them a kissing hand, a paper hand with a hershey's kiss in the middle!
My class did an excellent job; no tears were shed by my students but I did see a few teary-eyed parents out in the crowd! :-)
We started our morning routine and quickly moved on to the story of the "Gingerbread Man." As we were reading, a gingerbread man clue popped out of our book! We were then off on our gingerbread hunt! On our hunt we met all kinds of important people and places in our school. We didn't find the Gingerbread Man but in his last clue, he said next time he's back, he'll leave us a snack!
This is Mr. Povolo, our K-2 PE teacher reading us a clue the Gingerbread Man left behind!

Week 9, Thing 23
This Web 2.0 course was a lot of fun to do over the summer! It was very laid back, work at your own pace kind of course which I think we all need after a long intense school year! I found many of the explorations in this course beneficial to my work as a teacher. I am all about learning new tools, especially free ones, that I can use for myself, students, parents, and collegues. Many of the tools learned through this course I plan on sharing with my co-workers. I think they would benefit from these tools that are easy to use, when demonstrated during a staff meeting.
I felt surprised when I heard about neededing to checkout a text for this course and read 4 chapters. I didn't know that was part of the requirements; however, they did benefit the class. I might have missed it somewhere on the blog, but I didn't recall reading it as being part of the class. This also goes for commenting on other people's blog. But again, I do feel these requirements are important. It is always intereting to see what others have created or found through these explorations.
I would definatly recommend this course to others. I do wish they had one in particular for teachers in Alaska on mylearningplan.com (I haven't come across it yet, only the one offered in CA). This course has opened my eyes to even more technology tools that I can incorporate into my teaching. I am very excited to try some of it out this school year. Thanks again for a fun and beneficial course!

Week 9, Thing 22
Wow, I this was difficult for me to find an ebook to download/explore. I haven't read a good classic book for adults since high school and maybe one course in college! Most of my readings have been childrens books. I did find one of my favorites, Jane Eyre!
I went through the top 100 list from the past few days to see what books I recall being interested in or what new book I might try. When I went through the author list, I was beginning to recall many authors, Homer, Oscar Wilde, Poe, Twain, Austen, London, Hugo, Melville, etc. Some of the ebooks, I wish they were audio books instead, like the Iliad...personally, that is one book too long for me to sit through but I am willing to listen to while multitasking. The Bible was also in txt format. Little Women was one of my favorites but it only came as a txt download under Project Gutenberg.
I also did a google search on the top 100 classic novels to find one I'd be interested in listening to.
I also checked out http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ where they have all kinds of ebooks you can purchase!
http://www.archive.org/
When I searched for a couple of titles of books that became movies, I came across a lot of reviews that came in an mp3 format for listening to.
At http://librivox.org/, I was able to find a copy of Little WOmen in an audio version! I like the idea of volunteers reading, but I am not sure if I like how different people read different chapters. I downloaded Emma by Jane Austen and Three Men in a Boat, which I heard was a funny story. I also found a children's story (or so a website told me) called Wind in the Willows. I might download some of my other favorites, To Kill A Mocking Bird, Of Mice and Men, Great Gatsby, Grapes of Wrath, Price and Prejudice...I could keep going! I kind of wish I knew about this at the beginning of summer when I had more time!

Podcast
My favorite hobby: Scrapbooking!!
http://whollyscrap.libsyn.com/rss
I went to http://podcastalley.com and it was easy to search under games and hobbies for a podcast on scrapbooking! How fun! She goes over listener comments and constructive criticism. She uses skype and odasidy for her podcasting. I found the author's personal scrapbook site is http://angiepedersen.typepad.com/onescrappysite/! Listening to podcasts reminds me of listening to the radio. I can see myself listening to podcasts more often while I am working on craft things or filing papers.
http://www.epnweb.org
I listened to a first grader dedicate a book reading (that I believe she wrote) to her mom - it was SO cute! I think parents would love (and even grandparents) to hear their child's voice!
wwww.teachercreatedmaterials.com
Practice, Practice, Practice: The Value of Repeated Reading - Dr. Rasinski talks about the benefits of repeated reading. He compared it to athletes - they practice to get better, and reading is the same way. I do find it hard for me to just sit and listen. I feel like to need to multitask!
TechSavvyGirls
So I am not a big gamer (person who plays video games) but one in particular that I use to love to play in college was Dance Dance Revolution. And guess what I found? Dance Dance Revolution in Education podcast!

Chapter 3: New Tools
Some of the tools listed in this chapter we covered throughout this class. I thought I'd touch on some of the items that wasn't covered.
Calendars
www.google.com/calendar
You can see each other's schedule, cross-reference events/dates, and also get reminders. So far, it seems like it is a FREE tool.
Video Editing
Jumpcut.com
This site lets you make and remix videos, however, not all videos on this site are appropriate for a school environment (or home, ie. adult material) or even of any quality. It's more of a free tool you can use. I am not sure if there is a way to explore/search videos without having to come across inappropriate material. In its guidelines, it states: "Jumpcut does not tolerate content that includes pornography, illegal acts, excessive violence, or anything racially or ethnically offensive.

However, when I wanted to look up videos on "dance lessons," adult material was everywhere! I am not sure how well they are doing about monitoring the materials posted on the site.
There is an option to create videos that you do not want to share with the public but only certain people. What you post public, people are allowed to take your material/clips and "remix" it. In it's policy, it states that you must be at least 13 years old, and if you are 18 and under, you still need parent permission.
eyespot.com
Eyespot is an "all-in-one solution for hosting, mixing and sharing your video on the Internet and over mobile devices. Anyone can use the site to watch video and share via links and email." It seems to be similar to jumpcut.com but I didn't come across as many adult matrial when I explored videos. The do have "commercials" or demo videos as they like to call them.
Education videos are limited; I came across many videos advertising their academys or debt reduction. There was a short movie about making rainbow fishes.
Grouper.com
This site changed into crackle.com.
"Crackle, Inc., a Sony Pictures Entertainment Company formerly known as Grouper, is a multi-platform video entertainment network and studio that distributes the hottest emerging talent on the web and beyond. Crackle's addictive shows reach a global audience across the Internet, in the living room, and on devices including a broad range of Sony electronics. Crackle, in on-going collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment and other leading partners, discovers and promotes the stars of tomorrow." You can watch comedy, horror, music, short films, etc. Before you watch a video, they make you watch a commercial for a movie or a product. Again, this site is limited on videos appropriate for the classroom. I did come across a short math lesson.
Videoegg.com
"VideoEgg is the pioneering video ad network for online communities. We connect brands to consumers with video and rich media across a network of more than 200 leading video and gaming sites, social networks and applications. We are helping redefine the world of online advertising." I would not recommend even visiting this site unless you are using it to create ads....I was bombarded with "advertise here" on the homepage.
3D Modeling
sketchup.google.com
"Google SketchUp is software that you can use to create, modify and share 3D models. It's easier to learn than other 3D modeling programs, which is why so many people are already using it." They have links on how to use SketchUp for K-12 education. They have a free version and also SketchUp Pro which is free to educators but kept at a low cost for schools and its students. I checked out its K-12 Education gallery but only one illustratin was posted. I wish there were more examples from younger students using this tool.
eHub
emilychang.com/go/eHub
"She writes about web and user experience design, technology, and next generation web" like Web 2.0. At her site, she makes posts about new tools that you can use, ie., Kwik Surveys, if you want to create free and easy surveys. I found this listed on her site - a TO DO LIST at http://www.nowdothis.com/ Check it out. I am not sure if I would use it all the time...I noticed you have to list the items in order of what you want done first. Emily Chang's job sounds like fun!! With tags, she has her blogs categorized...I clicked on Education and then Kids and came across something useful for parents, zefty.com. Emily says Zefty is "a money expense tracker that allows you to track and manage your child's allowance & spending online. Your kids can easily learn about money management while parents gain quality time with their kids." AND IT'S FREE!!
Math Tools
http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/tools/
One of the tools I checked out was Experimental Probability, which is one thing we cover at the end of kindergarten. One of the assessment questions is about probability with working with a spinner where there are two parts, and one is about 60% and the other is 20%, and the kindergartner has to tell where it would most likely land. This has the online tool where you can spin the spinner by clicking the mouse and it will tally where it lands so you are able to see where it lands most. They have other math tools with graphs, statistics, geometry, and so forth.
Photo Editing
gimp.org
Gimp.org is used for photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It can also be used as a simple paint program. Some of the options it has is: photo enhancing, digital retouching, you can save your image in different formats...I think it is almost like Photoshop but easier!

This is a media authoring tool. They have an example project for 9 and up which involves students designing and creating a car and then making it "drive" or become animated. I can see this being incorporated into the classroom!

Video Editing
Jumpcut.com
This site lets you make and remix videos, however, not all videos on this site are appropriate for a school environment (or home, ie. adult material) or even of any quality. It's more of a free tool you can use. I am not sure if there is a way to explore/search videos without having to come across inappropriate material. In its guidelines, it states: "Jumpcut does not tolerate content that includes pornography, illegal acts, excessive violence, or anything racially or ethnically offensive. This includes your profile photo. Please flag content as innapropritate if you come across something that shouldn't be on the site. If you think there's immediate cause for concern, you can report content and/or behavior to Jumpcut directly via our Contact page."

Week 9, Thing 20
Teachertube...My Favorite Video!
It amazes me that these young 1st graders help make this cute video with their teacher. I really like their message and the music that they decided to remake is one that young chidren in first grade can help put this together!
There are some other videoes that kids would find humorous...A librarian, if brave enough, could create a video similar to this one about library rules:
I guess sometimes kids need a goofy movie or video to learn!
I seem to have a buffering issue at home (when I have fast internet) and even at school when I am viewing videos...sometimes they do not come out clearly, like the "stutter" in its image.

Week 8, Thing 19.1
I was having issues with the Digital Pipeline at first because I didn't know what my ID and password was. I decided to call the number on the site to retrieve it.
I have used EbscoHost before during college when doing research so I was familiar with searching. I never used the folder tool in the past.
I decided to look up articles on Kagan since I took a class on cooperative learning at the beginning of summer.
I found the Educational Leadership journal and found the alert button but was not allowed to set the alert with my ID and PW.
The three interfaces for the different levels are different in their presentation. In the elementary search (Kids Search - powered by ebsco), it is very bright and graphic, organized by different categories...I clicked on health and it gave me a list of options I can look under. Kids are also allowed to save articles in a folder.
Middle school search (Student Research Center - powered by ebsco) also offers graphics but are less cartoonish. THese images, instead of categories on topics, are images of types of documents, whether you want magazines, newspapers, news transcripts, etc.
Both of these two searches look similar to the main ebsco database searches but just are more appealing to the lower age groups.
At least three of the listed sites under high school search brought me to the Ebsco search page. I also checked out Oxford Reference Online. It was neat to see there are specific dictionaries for different things, for example, Food and Fitness: A Dictionary of Diet and Exercise...words listed were all related to this topic!

1. Digital Pipeline - show teachers these search options so that they can use them with their students to search for articles. My students are too young to type words correctly to search but some may be able to type in CVC words and search those.
2. Tell them about the free online tutor help for grades 4-12! I wish that was available when I was that young!
3. I can post videos on my blog! I wasn't sure if it would work if I clicked on the properties of the video and copied the URL and plugged it under the IMAGE button. I tried the video tool but that is if I was loading it from my own computer. Even though the video doesn't show up on the blog, you can still click it and open the video.
