The end of the near is here...

With less than 30 days to go in this year's school year -- how are you feeling?

Did you meet all of the goals that you set for yourself at the start of September? What insights do you have for next year's Grade 7s? What do you wish that you had known before you started at SAM?

Blog about it.

May will be the last set of blogs for this year --- feel free to blog over the summer!

Happy end of Grade 7! YIPPEEE! You made it!

April Blog Posting -- CLONES!

We have recently started our class novel study, "The House of the Scorpion". Check out these sites about cloning and then blog about it. (One of your blogs this month should be about cloning/our book!)


Cloning and Dolly the Sheep

Check out these sites for more information about Dolly and cloning:) On your blog, answer the question: What do you think of cloning? Are you for or against it? How is it beneficial to humans? If you could clone an exact copy of yourself -- would you? Why or why not?

Put a link in your post!

Do you want to have a blogging goal this month? Try adding a link to your post.

Here's how to do it:

1. Highlight the text that you want to link to (for example: I'm going to add a link here, so I am going to highlight the word "link")
2. Once the word is highlighted, click on the green globe icon next to the T at the top of your options. It looks like a green globe with glasses.
3. A hyperlink box will come up -- type in your URL (web address) and press OK.
4. Your linked word should be underlined. Check out my link -- I have linked to a wikipedia page about blogs!

Now,...you try it!
