There were 28 wonderful presenters who donated time, energy, and talents to give our students glimpses of just a few of the many career opportunities that await them. Each presenter did three different sessions so our students could be exposed to a number of different personalities. We thank them all for their dedication.<br />
I had such fun taking pictures - a labor of love. This evening I used my Shutterfly account to create a physical book that will be a nice reminder of the event. Shutterfly also offered me the opportunity to embed an electronic copy of the photo album on my blog. Enjoy! Mrs. Stanley

The kids had a wonderful time, and as a culminating activity upon their return, they worked with me to create a Voice Thread remembrance of the trip. They submitted 3 or 4 of their favorite photos to me, which I uploaded to a VoiceThread project. Each student then signed into his/her VT account and added narration to the photos submitted. It was really a nice way to remember the highlights of the trip. Now, nearly a year later, the students have decided they would like to have a reunion to discuss fond memories. I am embedding the video created from the VT in this post. It is about 19 minutes long, but it is an example of a great collaborative project. The actual VT is still open, and students might add reflections to it. Enjoy!<br />

All in all, we had a great year. The eighth graders had experienced a wonderful, if very hot, stepping up ceremony the day prior. On Friday all students arrived at 7:30 am. It was a time for tying up loose ends, saying fond good-by's to teachers and fellow students, signing yearbooks, and prepping for summer days ahead. Then when the bell rang for dismissal at 10 am, teachers and other staff gathered to send the kids off with our annual "wave." You can tell from the video that good feelings were experienced by all. I hope everyone is having a great summer. I wish a great school year at BMS for our returning 7th graders - now 8th and that our 8th graders will have great success at the senior high.<br />
Enjoy the video captured on my iPad and edited in iMovie app on the iPad.<br />

After his visit, the seventh graders held a fund raiser to help patients at the clinic in Rwanda. Dr. Emmanuel recently contacted Ms. Manzelli to report on how the funds had been put to good use. It is so amazing how much good was accomplished as a result of our students' generosity. Here is Mrs. Manzelli's message to the staff:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText">
"<i>Earlier this year, the 7th grade social studies classes
collected money for Dr. Emmanuel Kamanzi, who came to visit and speak to our
students. Dr. Kamanzi is a pediatrician working at a hospital in Rwanda. Dr.
Andre Sofair, a parent of one of our 7th grade students, works with Dr. Kamanzi , and the Sofair family travels to Rwanda each summer. Attached is a photo of Dr.
Kamanzi and the hospital social worker as well as the report of how our
donation was spent. $275 went quite a long way to help the children in Rwanda!</i>"<o:p></o:p></div>

The students had a revised schedule so that they finished all classes by 12:50 pm. Then the special program started. The students first watched a short video clip from<i> Britain's Got Talent</i> showcasing the remarkable talent of 17 year old Jonathan Antoine- an opera star in the making. It was to remind students not to judge someone or make fun of them because of physical appearance. Here is a link to the clip. It's worth watching: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsNlcr4frs4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsNlcr4frs4</a><br />
<br />
Next Mrs. Mahon went on the PA to thank the students for the money they had raised the previous couple days and to let them know that donations were still welcome. In fact, luminary bags were available to decorate for a $5.00 donation. The luminary bags will light the track at the actual Relay for Life which is being held on Friday, April 27 at the High Plains Community Center in Orange. The proceeds from our fundraiser will be added to the ones collected at the actual event which starts at 6:00 pm with the luminary ceremony at 9:00 pm. All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society and will go for more research to put an end to this terrible disease.<br />
<br />
BREAKING NEWS! Just in! - Mrs. Mahon said that Bethany Middle School raised 2,087 dollars. That is an amazing amount considering the short time that the fundraiser lasted. Remember, you can still contribute at the actual event taking place this Friday, April 27.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the pictures of the students and staff enjoying a wonderful day, getting lots of exercise, and contributing to a great cause. Thanks to all the students, staff, band, and chorus who made the event so successful. A special thanks to Mrs. Mahon and the Life Art's Team for initiating and organizing the event.<br />
Hopefully, many of you will show up and participate in the event this Friday.<br />

Directed by Maria Douglass and involving a large number of our Bethany stars, it was a production of merit. On Monday, April 2, the entire staff and student body at Bethany Middle School also got to enjoy the show. Kudos to everyone involved. It was truly enjoyable. Below are just a few of the highlights of the extravaganza.<br />

According to Dr. Dellinger, "Congratulations to our reading consultant Eileen Kazdan, media specialist Faith Miller, and the 99% of our students who contributed reading more than 533,099 pages last summer, which averaged to 1,418 per student! Governor Daniel P. Malloy and Commissioner Pryor will recognize some of our top readers at an awards ceremony on May 11 at the Connecticut State Library."<br />Then to top off the news, Mrs. Kazdan initiated a spring reading challenge. Using the theme, "Reading is Magic because...," Mrs. Kazdan challenged the students to read 1,000 books before April 6, 2012. If they met the challenge, they would be rewarded with an terrific magic show by Danny Magic. Well, they not only met the challenge but exceeded it by 300 books.<br />On April 11, right before our spring break, Danny Magic had the kids enthralled and laughing with his wonderful comedic magic routines. There was an assembly for Grade 7 and one for Grade 8, so we got to see two teachers be good sports and allow Danny Magic to do an "off with their heads" illusion. Great fun was had by all. I hope our students used the spring break to read even more great books. </span><br />

Not only can students access a wealth of streaming videos, pictures, audio files, interactive explorations, etc., but DE also partners with different agencies to bring live learning experiences to our students.<br />
On March 16, 2012, Mrs. Mahon's and Ms. Dubay's classes participated in a live stream from Energy Balance 101 presenting the "Morning Ultimate Warm-Up Challenge." The students gathered in the cafeteria near the large monitor and watched the stream from there. The only drawback was that the volume of the broadcast was very soft, so the kids couldn't move and hear what was being said at the same time. No matter! Movement was the focus of the day. Phys Ed teachers from several different schools presented what they hoped were winning warm-up routines, and our students were invited to follow along. As you can see by the pictures below, even though the kids were not entirely sure what they were supposed to be doing, they followed the demonstrations and had a good time, and they MOVED! Mission accomplished!<br />

If you watch the video at the end of the post, you will feel the excitement of the students when Mrs. Miller announced that all who had participated in the Hunger Games activities would be going to see the premiere showing of the movie on Friday, March 23. Not only did they get to see the movie, but there was a great party after with pizza and snacks and drinks and cake. A wonderful time was had by all. Kudos go to Mrs. Miller for organizing such a wonderful experience. The kids and the teachers loved the movie, by the way. They felt it was very true to the book.<br />

They have been having a wonderful experience, sightseeing and learning about Chinese culture with their buddies from Century School. Tomorrow they visit the Great Wall of China before flying back home on Sunday.
<br />
Now to the belated post!<br />
On Valentine's Day Ms. Wu's 7th grade Mandarin Chinese Class students had the opportunity to learn how to make authentic Chinese Dumplings. Ms. Wu brought in dumpling wrappers and a bowl of chopped scallion and scrambled egg that she had prepared at home. She then taught the students how to properly dampen the wrapper so it would stick, fill it with just the correct amount of filling, and pinch it closed so that it wouldn't spill out its delicious filling when it was boiled. We were so fortunate to have Ms. Wu's mother assisting. She was on an extended visit from China, and the students greatly appreciated her warmth and expertise in assisting them. Enjoy the experience through the photos below.<br />

I had more entries this year than in any other. Seven of our students spent a lot of time and effort creating doodles on the theme of "If I could travel in time, I'd visit..."<br />
All of the entries have been submitted to Google, and once the state finalists have been chosen, the public will be invited to vote on the entries from May 7 to May 10, 2012. The national winner will be announced on May 17. Good luck to all of our entrants.<br />
I scanned each entrant's doodle, and they will be on display in the school soon. Here is a sneak peak of the wonderful doodles submitted.<br />

(quotation taken from a newsletter from studentsrebuild.org)<br />
A fund-raising call went out to the world asking students to help with the healing by folding and sending cranes to the organization. The Bezos Family Foundation pledged $200,000 if they received 100,000 cranes. The response to the plea was momentous, and well over a million cranes from all 50 states and over 38 countries were received, and over $500,00 was raised.<br />
At our school Emma Bogush and Maddie Baker led the effort, and in a short period of time, students at our school made and sent in over 300 cranes.<br />

There are many ways for our students to get involved and help out others. I suggest you check out the website at <a href="http://studentsrebuild.org/">http://studentsrebuild.org/</a> for more details.Mrs. Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951021864343703361noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373683983722708714.post-3824920437862987032012-02-26T20:01:00.000-05:002012-02-26T20:01:25.369-05:00Doodle for Google Contest is now open for 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho30kQ19hal5PZdc8hvw5UVtm7IhOMu5vhg6pR7C9WYEvweP1deoZik5nWZEi49718GHZkEXka9wD9DaNthS-LuNRfgyYMlnU2Epw7c4quEj_OraqdOFv_Eztp6gk7TUMlz-JVKDDXj4eR/s1600/Doodle+for+Google+2012.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho30kQ19hal5PZdc8hvw5UVtm7IhOMu5vhg6pR7C9WYEvweP1deoZik5nWZEi49718GHZkEXka9wD9DaNthS-LuNRfgyYMlnU2Epw7c4quEj_OraqdOFv_Eztp6gk7TUMlz-JVKDDXj4eR/s1600/Doodle+for+Google+2012.png" /></a></div><br />
We have so many talented students at our school. I do hope some of you will enter the Doodle for Google Contest for 2012. This year's contest theme is, "If I could travel in time, I'd visit..." -Would you maybe travel back to medieval Japan or China or Africa - places the 8th grade curriculum has been exploring?<br />
Would you like to go back in time to ancient Greece -or maybe ahead in time to the year 2050? It's all up to your imagination. Along with your drawing, you'll need to submit your written response in 50 words or less.<br />
<br />
(Deadline is Monday, March 19, so I can mail the entries in order to reach Google by March 23, at 11:59 pm Pacific time.)<br />
<br />
Just to whet your appetite, watch this video about Matteo Lopez, the grand-prize winner for the 2011 Doodle for Google contest:<br />

<br />
While your parents can submit your doodle, I would be honored to submit any entries for our school. You will need to submit a signed parent permission form along with your drawing. This year will be even more exciting in that there will be a winner for every state instead of just a number of regions, as was the case in previous years. In fact, there will be 250 state finalists chosen, so your odds of being recognized are higher than ever.<br />
<br />
The grade categories are different this year, also. For our purposes 7th and 8th graders will be in different categories.<br />
<br />
The doodles must be submitted on the second page of the official entry form, and only one doodle per student is allowed, although I may submit as many doodles per school as received.<br />
There is also a way students can created their doodle in PhotoShop. I will have a template prepared and stored in the student drive for any student wishing to do an electronic doodle.<br />

One of Ms. Manzelli’s students had actually visited the African nation of Rwanda, and Ms. Manzelli arranged a visit from Andre’s father so their experience could be shared with the classes.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On January 5, 2012, Dr. Andre Sofair and his son addressed both 7<sup>th</sup> grade teams on the topic of the presenters’ recent trip to Rwanda. Of course, one of the highlights of the presentation was the viewing of pictures of the gorillas that have a habitat in Rwanda. However, during the presentation, Dr. Sofair and Andre also told the students about their visit to Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kigali (CHUK) where great strides have been made in increasing the wellness of the children of Rwanda. Students’ interest in helping the clinic by running a fundraiser prompted a follow-up visit.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On Tuesday, January 24, Dr. Sofair returned to visit with the social studies classes. He was joined by Dr. Emmanuel Kamanzi, of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kigali (CHUK) in Rwanda. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dr. Kamanzi discussed with students his education, experiences, and daily life as a medical doctor in Rwanda. It was so gratifying to hear him explain how he chose pediatrics as his specialty. Dr. Kamanzi told of how very ill infants and young children would be brought to the clinic, but as a result of treatment available, most children would be greatly improved within a few days, laughing and playing; it was like a miracle. These successes so affected Dr. Kamanzi emotionally that he just knew that helping young children was his life’s mission.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Students greatly enjoyed the presentation and did indeed hold a fundraiser for CHUK. Hopefully, the generous donations of students and teachers at BMS will help to, in the words of Ms. Manzelli, </span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“</span><span style="font-family: "Lithos Pro Regular"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Help the children of Rwanda see a brighter and healthier future!”<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Just in – The seventh graders raised over $250 for the clinic in just four days.<br />
We hope to stay in touch with Dr. Kamanzi through email even after his return to Rwanda.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghK8zUxK_8mEfV1SfsWt3_8raEPQ0OySY6IOEJl-NoIdDDdCn0c6Oz1W6meEpcndsatyL8Kv9fjcUgshDruWwinwtjDOiBuz5TBxD9ykNtzQ4OY-bl6i8-HSiFiKQnMGCtthdK6aF_k9J9/s1600/P1050901.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghK8zUxK_8mEfV1SfsWt3_8raEPQ0OySY6IOEJl-NoIdDDdCn0c6Oz1W6meEpcndsatyL8Kv9fjcUgshDruWwinwtjDOiBuz5TBxD9ykNtzQ4OY-bl6i8-HSiFiKQnMGCtthdK6aF_k9J9/s400/P1050901.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5pK-yhCQO91pCK2tJy1u6vLyLm_xeIxORbsGW07x6qKJMgIaaSxQkL2Dy9UrwxgDxotp2RBRoX3v4DnD-jz7s1x1ZlPytRoxU-KuA16eKsZVih4JSn3XLSvggjyaunaCRlZgTI7m5UQV/s1600/P1050907.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5pK-yhCQO91pCK2tJy1u6vLyLm_xeIxORbsGW07x6qKJMgIaaSxQkL2Dy9UrwxgDxotp2RBRoX3v4DnD-jz7s1x1ZlPytRoxU-KuA16eKsZVih4JSn3XLSvggjyaunaCRlZgTI7m5UQV/s400/P1050907.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNRvr_kTQ2oHuVNqtUjKDCjISCS6zlKV3zjghP8T0v5MfaVFzLWZzzUVJoI6eRMAivzXes5iAMS8DKNz9u7T7lJ2BAQyBNdpFxKiQdGSg9Qly12nzIsmukqMqxVtKDxCTPccEs6rjhr1i/s1600/P1050913.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNRvr_kTQ2oHuVNqtUjKDCjISCS6zlKV3zjghP8T0v5MfaVFzLWZzzUVJoI6eRMAivzXes5iAMS8DKNz9u7T7lJ2BAQyBNdpFxKiQdGSg9Qly12nzIsmukqMqxVtKDxCTPccEs6rjhr1i/s400/P1050913.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Wz3lrLaeqXVWisI4YaTJMn1Xlu1q_XM6NtGILZV3T7FDgszvivDzZ71kbmdNxB4iXCKUCQB750ImFp-R30RPiAAmJX9Ns_nbnfiom2em9QvKbTCUcmuxxBdbGedasvRI6i0LT30meADw/s1600/P1060026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Wz3lrLaeqXVWisI4YaTJMn1Xlu1q_XM6NtGILZV3T7FDgszvivDzZ71kbmdNxB4iXCKUCQB750ImFp-R30RPiAAmJX9Ns_nbnfiom2em9QvKbTCUcmuxxBdbGedasvRI6i0LT30meADw/s400/P1060026.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjphnixxof6pwqvSNMmOq4k3a-9QdSFWCJlGWhpqDDzp8LDhWQ-gfWmiiB3eQnU-DrlUGoVIqY8HlJiBMMHvCHbme7BWtT1OAOUE3qRNLyI3UzbejJMl6FAW5Lkxy0dtQFk8xYpoTRf664T/s1600/P1060028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjphnixxof6pwqvSNMmOq4k3a-9QdSFWCJlGWhpqDDzp8LDhWQ-gfWmiiB3eQnU-DrlUGoVIqY8HlJiBMMHvCHbme7BWtT1OAOUE3qRNLyI3UzbejJMl6FAW5Lkxy0dtQFk8xYpoTRf664T/s400/P1060028.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

The students had created wonderful projects as an activity tying in with their study of Ancient Egypt. What was so great was how they were moving in rotations from one project to another, viewing the project, and critiquing each one.This helped them to really focus on other students' projects as well as their own - a collaborative activity. I asked Ms. Manzelli to write a blurb about the project, and this is what she said:<br />
" <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Seventh graders on the Blue Team have been studying Ancient Egyptian culture, government, and history. As a culminating project, students were asked to create a model project which illustrated in 3D an aspect of ancient Egyptian life. Students brought in items ranging from a diorama of the Nile River Valley to the interior of King Tut’s tomb, to a bust statue of Queen Nefertiti. At their “Ancient Egypt Fair,” students rotated among projects, constructively evaluating their peers’ work and commenting on the strengths and weaknesses of other projects. In addition, the class period ended with a short discussion on the structures, people, and geography that shaped the lives of ancient Egyptians more than 3000 years ago."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There were many wonderful projects produced. Enjoy the pictures that Mrs. Manzelli captured with her iPad -I was only able to include a few in this post, but she has archived them for posterity in a folder at school. So - long after the projects have been thrown away, there will be a visual record of them. I encourage all of you to document your children's work.

Mrs. Vescovi and some students captured video clips to commenmorate the day. She returned the flip camera with the video clips to me, and I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't get time to work with them until the fall of 2011. Last year we had a lot of problems trying to edit video using Windows Movie Maker. The computers had been upgraded such that we were running Windows 7 on top of the old XP operating system. Most everything worked great except for Windows Movie Maker Live, the version that came with Windows 7. Unfortunately, almost every time we'd get a project started, it would crash and all the work would be lost.<br />
I am very pleased to announce that editing the video clips on the brand new computers in Lab 21 with native Windows 7 operating system and using Windows Live Movie Maker worked like a charm. It still took a lot of time for me to watch all the clips,edit them, put in transitions and titles, and render the final product, but it was worth it, and it went seamlessly. I look forward to working with the students this year as they produce their own videos to enhance curricular projects.<br />
Enjoy the trip to Sleeping Giant:<br />

Last June, as you'll recall, we had many snow days to make up, and the teachers were in session for three days after the students were finished for the school year 2010~2011. In those remaining three days, the teachers were engaged in a number of professional development activities. The middle school teachers from both Bethany and Orange gathered at Orange Middle School for a day of sharing. While every teacher in the district has wonderful projects to share, time allowed for a select few to present, and there is a quick slide of each of the presenters in this video clip. <br />
I have been wanting to try Animoto - a web 2.0 tool that allows you to upload a number of pictures, select music, and add text, and then the tool puts it all together for you. The free version is limited to a 30-second video, but there are pay options that allow you more features. The next step up from free is available for $5.00 per month or $30.00 per year. That's not too steep a price if you want to produce a number of these videos. You can save them to your computer, email them, share them on Facebook, etc. I requested the embed code and am pasting it into this blog post, so I can share this with you. I hope you enjoy it.<br />

You can see in the video below what a wonderful time the kids had. Except for a few sugar highs, the kids were extremely well-behaved, and they all participated in clean up which made Mrs. Frank very happy.<br />
The iPad was used to capture the video clips, and then the iMovie app for the iPad was used to combine the clips and add the transitions and titles. Enjoy!<br />

Mrs. Saisa, for a second year in a row, has spearheaded this project along with teachers and students from Bethany Community School. This community outreach project which emphasizes the importance of giving to others, is a real labor of love. Mrs. Saisa and Mrs. Mahon, with generous contributions from students and staff at Bethany Middle School, spend a great deal of personal time gathering materials and organizing this wonderful service project. This year the project generated 23 pillows, 51 pillow cases, and 89 fleece blankets which will definitely bring joy to the children who receive them. I could not include all of the photos in this post, but the ones included will give you an insight into how much joy the project also brought to the creators.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Some students at my middle school had been asked to create a collage of family members as part of their Spanish unit on vocabulary having to do with the family. When they asked for help in printing their collage, I discovered they had created it on their iPads using a free app called Pic Collage. After downloading the free app, they were able to select a background and then add pictures from their pictures library, live shots from the camera, or pictures from a Facebook account. Once the pictures were added, they were easily able to size, rotate, and send them to the back or in front of other pictures in the collage. There were even simple editing tools for brightness, contrast, effects, etc. Once they were satisfied with their layout they had a number of options such as saving their masterpiece to their picture library, or uploading it to Twitter or Facebook, or emailing it to someone. Since they needed to print it out, they had mailed it to themselves at our school Google domain. Once the email was opened, the picture appeared. To facilitate printing, I had them right-click on the photo and save it to their network folder. They then opened it using Windows picture viewer – chose a size- and printed it to the color printer. The collages came out really nice. I am sure that app will be used for lots of school projects from capturing events during field trips to photographing student artwork displayed around the building and putting it together in a nice collage.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Inspired by the students, I created the collage show here using pictures I’d captured on my iPad at the Westchester Day of Discovery in White Plains, New York. Hall Davidson was the keynote speaker, but I also got shots of Cindy, Max, Whitney, and Leslie.<br />

Because all of Bethany is without power, we have not been able to hold classes. Hopefully, power will be restored soon, and our family of learners -students, teachers, administrators, and staff- will be back and raring to go.<br />
I imagine we will still have the judging of the best decorated lockers for Halloween. One of the students in Mrs. Habersang's Student Council group made a great poster advertising the contest.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWimOQ5x6ziZqdKCm8U5ksMn7ekz3xkSHdvdSf_2j7QT9SwAXr6vBarI2EGxTFfDDy2W8kN1YN9D3j20W5d1kH-v95H7d5inhyLLP8qKbCfhqUet-GZZnwmQfAdGDGo0OKNDJyAEUrlvs6/s1600/Halloweenlockercontestposter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWimOQ5x6ziZqdKCm8U5ksMn7ekz3xkSHdvdSf_2j7QT9SwAXr6vBarI2EGxTFfDDy2W8kN1YN9D3j20W5d1kH-v95H7d5inhyLLP8qKbCfhqUet-GZZnwmQfAdGDGo0OKNDJyAEUrlvs6/s320/Halloweenlockercontestposter.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Judging was supposed to take place on Friday, but it was changed at the last minute to Monday. Little did we know what lay in store for us.<br />
When I left on Friday, I thought about touring around the school with my camera, but I decided to wait until Monday since some students were not finished. Little did I know that we'd not be in school on Halloween or the day after or the day after that. I did get one locker and some shots of teacher's doors, however.<br />

It was hard to shoot because the sun was behind it, nearly blinding me. Who knew that 24 hours later, it would be covered with snow! I wish I had a picture of that!<br />

Because Mr. Dahl leaves readers to draw their own conclusion to the ending of this "grisly" tale, the English teachers gave the students the opportunity to finish the ending. One of the teachers set the scene for her students -and gave them an additional option of examining the crime scene and writing up what they think happened from the evidence. The students really enjoyed the exercise.<br />

Rather than recreate the wheel, I am pasting the content of the article that our own, wonderful art teacher, Mrs. Frank, wrote about the project, and then I'll put in several photos showing the progression.<br />

I have put a lot of time and energy into this blog even though I don't post everyday, and when I kept getting the error message that the page could not be displayed, it was disconcerting. I have learned from my son to check the forums when I'm having a problem, and that is just what I did. Come to find out there was a post from another blogger with the exact same problem. One of the responders told her to go to her layout tab in the dashboard of her blog and see if she had the blogrolling gadget because that was causing problems. I followed the advice, found the offending gadget and removed it, and Voila! my blog was visible again. So, if anyone has a problem with a piece of software or a driver for one of the devices hooked to their computers, or trouble with an online application, go to the forums and check for solutions. It is not always as easy as this fix, but it's a start.Mrs. Stanleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01951021864343703361noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373683983722708714.post-67598042977854814292011-09-03T20:04:00.002-04:002011-09-03T20:04:37.345-04:00Help.
