to all of my friends in the blogging world.  I have been reassigned and am now teaching kindergarten.  I am currently working on a plan to get my kindergartners involved.  In  a little bit of time I plan to have something up and running.  I still have all of my former 4th graders reading and responding, so please keep writing to them.  As soon as I get something going I'll let you know.

Mr. Daunis

It is time my new students staerted blogging.  After a short discussion on Biography's the students have been prompted to write their own breif biography to introduce themselves to the blogging community.  Luckily, several students in my class this year came from a class that began blogging last year, so we have some support to help our fellow students learn the process.  We look forward to discussing different pieces of literature and our writing with our friends all over the world.

School hs begun.  We have anew group of forth graders.  Fortunately for us, three of our new classmatescome from a thrid grade that has used blogmeister.  So they will be our "wingmen." Anyhow, within a couple of weeks we will be up and running. The students are working on creatin their user names and profiles.  But we need to first finish getting them acclamated to the fourth grade.  We appreciate the continued comments and we willbe writing to all of you soon. 

Mr. Daunis

Well, August is here.  That means we only have a couple of weeks before school starts again.  I have been very busy lately.  I just got 4 wisdom teeth taken out at the dentist.  Now I hve to eat soft food for 10 whole days.  It is like I am a baby again.  Mrs. Daunis keeps putting my   food in a food processor, which pretty much turns everything into baby food.  It still tastes pretty good though.  Also, I am going to take Mrs. Daunis and Hailee to Pennsylvania this weekend to see some caves, the Crayola Crayon factory and The Harry Houdini Museum.  Houdini was a famous magician.  I am really excited about the crayon factory  though, it  should be cool to see how crayons are made.  I'll take some pictures and show you.  I have also been at the new school setting up my classroom.  There are some familiar things in there and some nw things.  I look forward to seeing everyone soon.  I hope allof youare enjoying your summer.

July has come and the summer continues.  It is hot.  But I have been making the most of it.  I have gone hiking with Hailee, and we got lost.  Another day we went to see WALL-E.  it was a really funny movie.  I just finished reading yeat another great book, Holes.  It is te second time I read it, but it is fantastic.  I plan on taking Hailee and Mrs. Daunis to the beach soon.  I also want to ake some time and practice my golf swing.  It is not that good, but I am working on it.  On another note  or blog has done something wonderful.  A friend of mine from when i was in high school found m using our blog.  I have not talked to him in a long time, it was great to hear from him.  See, it i just like I have always told you, we can do wonderful things with technology. I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer.  i have only heard from Nick D so far...  i hope to hear from more of you soo.

Well the first week of summer has come and gone.  I am curious to hear about how everyone is spending their time.  I started by playing a little golf, I didn't do so well, I spent most of my time trying to find my ball in the woods or water.  Then I worked on my car a little bit, it caught  on fire.  But I put it out.  Finally, I spend my nights playing with my daughter and reading.  I just finished reading Bridge to Terebithia.  Now I am going to go to the library and find something else to read.  I would love it if some of you posted your own blog telling me how you are spending you summer.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Well, summer vaction is finally  here.  I know you have all been waiting for it very anxiously.  You have all done a fantastic job this year.  I could not be more proud of you.  Don't forget just because school has ended, does not mean learning has stopped.  The blog will still be available for you to use.  I will check it as often as possible.  Also, don't forget about our friends in Australia, The United Kingdom, Canada, and across the United States.  I look forward to seeing some articles over the summer and I can't wait to see you all again at the beginning of the next school year.  Have a great summer.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share with you something really neat! Did you see what I just did?  Thats right, you can highlight with color now when you write an article!  How cool is that.  Now you can add some POP to every article you write.  Also, you can add links to other webpages now, so when you want to show a certain wweb page in your article all you have to do is make a LINK.  Your link would look like this if you wanted to go to Columbus Schools homepage.  All you have to do is click on the highlighted underlined blue words and you'll zip right to our schools webpage. You can also make a picture a link or insert a picture with ease...  I am so excited.  I can't wait to show you all how to do this...
