Blog Responses

After our Skype call this past week, I had my students take the time to blog about the experience. I think it's a great way for them to reflect on the Skype call. They are able to think about what they learned from the call, and it helps me to make sure they are gaining a value lesson from experience. It also allows them to ask any more questions to the person we spoke with or they may address them to me. If you're looking for another grade, you can always create a rubric that the students must follow as they are writing their blogs.


Here are a few of the great responses I got this week:

We skyped with a guy Miss.Turner used to go to high school with.He owned a bussiness for insurance and he told us about all kinds of things, like math and where he worked when he started.He even told us we can be good enough at math to own our own bussiness. – Brandon G.

When I skyped with Duncan we asked him a few questens about him. He was really nice. He told us about his job and how he works. When we were done we waved goodbye. We all liked him a lot. He was pretty cool when we talked to him. That is my blog!! He’s a friend of Mrs. Turner. He was really nice. – Ashlie G

Yesterday we skyped with one of Miss Turner's friend and he was very nice. I know that because I was the first one to ask him the first queshton. He talked longer than he talked to any body else,  and  he talked to everyone for a second. Then he was finished and now I know where good people go to school because he told us where he went to college. He went to Texas A&M, and thats all I remember of that. The best part is that he was a boss and he owns he owns his own busness. It is like a plant but it needs math to work it . It was very big and he proboly has to pay everyone. C.J.

We skyped with a man named Duncan who works at A+ Finance. He sells things like insurance. He's a boss of his own company. He went to collage at A  and M. Duncan is a friend of Miss Turner. They are the same age. He didn't do well in English class. He has to do math a lot in his job! I hope we skype again. Kate-lyn
