ooops

So I forgot to put in the previous post the WHY of the words in the wordle.  I think this time of year, with the focus on report cards and progress reports, my brain becomes muddled with the compartments that we put children's learning into--and the task of viewing the child as a whole, when the compartments intersect at such angles. 

I was feeling so technosavvy after the wordle that I jumped right into #3-----and NOW I'll be going to the barn...

try try again...

Luckily this deadline has been extended and I can attempt task#2 with a healthy serving of Thanksgiving day leftovers.  ANd that seems to have done the trick.  Each of the six attempts to use wordle previously ended with a few tears---a few interesting words--and self-imposed time outs in the barn.  But this time it worked easy as pie (sweet potato to be exact).
Now to add the image...I guess it just plops itself in the middle...

Time?

I am wondering why the time posted is listed as too early???

Candle Breath #456

So, I wonder what Officer Buckle would say about trying to do a this task--stretching all my technical abilities--with a dog on either side of me.  Probably it would go like this "Safety Tip #489: Use the computer only when a dog will not lick your hand and result in losing the the two steps you WERE able to accomplish.

On a more serious note, this is the second blog I've tried to create.  This one is going MUCH easier.  The written directions from the email, opened in a different window, were easier to follow than the techno lingo of my thirteen year old!
