Leaving

mr. martinez — Sat, 07 May 2005 18:52:12 GMT

This had become more than a familiar place. It wasn't just a place to work, it had become a second home. from his window looking toward the west he had for years contemplated the view of such an expansive sky

Hi!

I teach third grade in San Pablo, California at a school called Lake. There is no lake at Lake, but there is the sort of plant and animal life that grows in marshes. I have been teaching there since 1986. The school population has changed considerably over the years. In 1986 the students were mostly African American. Now they are mostly Latino, with 30 percent black and about 15 percent Asian.

I've been blogging for a couple of years now but since the Manilla site/format changed last year, I don't know how to archive my summer blog site from 2004. It's quite frustrating.

My name is Kristin Papania. I have taught for many years in the public schools and also in adult and family literacy programs. Teaching people to read and write has been a passion of mine for many years. In part this came form the fact that when it was time for my own son to read and write it was not the easy natural process that I thought it would be.

I'm going to create something later on.

Machine, How do I get this buzzing piece of plastic to do that magic?

Testing This news item business

Charlene Kalagian — Sat, 07 May 2005 18:49:51 GMT

It really will be news if I'm able to make this technology work. I am at a point where, if I really begin to understand how to make this work, it will be miraculous. I am also at the point where I'm not afraid and accept my failures and inabilities. Patrick said just write a little bit more. Soon we will be copying this somewhere other than here as if we were our own students.

Now after having done a few other procedures and posting this in the Kalagian Department, we are ready for a next step.

Confusion

This is not easy - the vocab is new. I feel like I need some ESL now.

Welcome to our Young Writers Camp weblog training

We'll start with the basics of writing online. Then we'll get really, really confused. Confusion will lead to frustration. Frustrated, we will remember why BAWP is so cool and then we'll relax. Relaxed, we'll laugh. Laughing, we'll lose the frustration and come up with some ideas that we hadn't thought of before.

By the time we leave, we'll have a notion of what we'll do together this summer. We may even cover these weblog basics:
