Thank you for your blogging. I've just started blogging myself to share what I am giving to classrooms for free. It is my intention to support you and other teachers by providing music and the arts as tools for learning core knowledge curriculum. If you are interested, let me know and it would be my pleasure to send what I have to you for free. Hello Graham. Thank you for your blogging.

I'm excited about a new 'start again' year. It's not really - more building on what has been. Our building blocks and inspiration (the kids) are different 'though ... and that's what makes it so exciting. Have a great year. I look forward to seeing what you discover and develop with your class ... your new connections. Our new 2007 miniLegends blog will be at http://alupton.edublogs.org/ My eTeacher 'Create, Connect - Blog' event is at http://connect.edublogs.org/ and My educational dialogue blog is at http://ccclearning.edublogs.org/ - there you will find five things you probably never knew about me :) Have a good one mate. I'll catch up with you soon. Cheers, Al Well said Graham.

Of course it's been this way for a long time, but the communication medium is now so immediate and powerful, engaging and overwhelming. We have to notice. But then just when I start to think I am sharing so much with you in the big picture, I hear mention of a "twice weekly dose of German". Goodness. I guess we are not as similar as I thought... Anyway, my kids this year are just going nuts with their blogs - writing like I have never seen before. Again. Best of luck to you as you launch your new year! - Mark Graham, it certainly is a topsy-turvy world, as we in the northern hemispheres are halfway through a school year and you southies are about to embark on a new one.

As I read your post for the second time, your sentence re: building positive relationships in the classroom where a diverse group of learners feels safe really resonated with me. Having taught for nearly 11 consecutive years now, it wasn't until this past fall that I went beyond the piece of paper called, "Miss Profe's Classroom Expectations." For the previous 1o years, I distributed my expectations to my students, and went on faith that they were going to read it. What changed for me was a five day experience at Landmark College in Putney, VT re: Teaching MFL to Students With LD and ADHD. The point brought home time and again during that week was setting clear expectations for all learners. So, I applaud you in your deep desire to achieve this end, and what's more, to empower your students by posing the question to them.:) Hi, Graham.
