Keep on writing...

Hi all!  I am so happy to see that some of you are continuing to publish your stories and leave comments.  Even when you think people aren't reading, they are.  They don't always leave comments (I'm guilty of that too) but they do read.

I have been busy all summer renovating our new house.  It's been a lot of work, and I have cried a few times in frustration, and laughed a lot too!  

The kitchen...

The living room...
I hope all of you are having a lovely summer.  Is anyone reading anything worth recommending?  I could use a good book right now ;)

Take care,

Mrs.Goins

    Ummmm. I'm not sure if you would like these, but I'll go for it. Uh, also, they are, juvenile books. Umm Sisters of the Sword, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince, Deathly Hallows, and Chamber of Secrets. Maybe Cordially Uninvited, The Chronicles of Harris Burdick, and the Percy Jackson series. All are very good. Can we see your new home later when it's completed?

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
