My new students are checking out socialstudieswithasmile.com for the first time and are probably stumbling upon the blog. This is one of my favorite parts of the website. I hope it gives me, students (current and past), and possibly even parents the opportunity to communicate about things that don’t always have to do with school.
I am excited about getting to know my new students. We have a great team this year!
See you soon in school!

Jesse! Don’t scare them!
I remember that Iliana was at my house when I got the postcard. We immediately went on the website and were both very impressed with its organization and… is “helpfulness” a word? Well, anyway, we could tell that a lot of thought went into making the website.

I don’t remember a postcard! What gives?

Socialstudieswithasmile.com is an ever evolving enterprise. There are always changes, tweaks, new things that I try and then add to the foundation of what you may remember from a few years ago.

Chris, now I feel bad. We’ve been going on and on about the postcards, but we (at least, I) didn’t know that you never got one. Sorry.

OH, I SEE! I was part of the “experiment” group. I was part of the “trial and error” group, if things don’t go well this year at least it will go well next year. I see your little game!
Well, I DON’T HAVE TO TAKE THIS ABUSE!
hmph!

Uh, Chris, I don’t think Mr Dowling meant to offend you. And I have a funny feeling you aren’t actually furious.

I’ve been going through this for a few years now with Chris. He could probably teach my class for me if necessary.

I’d like to think of myself as a “bodyguard”.

Hey, by the way, can we have a Caption Craziness soon, Mr Dowling? I really miss it!
Comment by Wyn on August 27, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Nice pun Jesse…
Am I the only one who noticed it??
Comment by Chris on August 27, 2010 at 1:28 pm
I see it…
I thought he just spelled it wrong; the punctuation and grammar was already off.
Comment by Elizabeth on August 27, 2010 at 10:00 pm
I noticed, and I thought it might scare the future 7th graders, so I told Jesse so.
Comment by Jesse on August 28, 2010 at 8:10 am
I shouldn’t say this but because typing on my iPod is hard-ish, it was mis-spelled….
Comment by Chris on August 28, 2010 at 10:12 am
In a moment of clarity, I’ve just asked myself
“What do the 7th graders think of us?”
Comment by Elizabeth on August 28, 2010 at 10:39 am
Hopefully, they think we’re so weird that they don’t even want to virtually communicate with us.
Comment by Mr. Dowling on August 28, 2010 at 4:17 pm
NO!!! You’re supposed to be virtually welcoming! You aren’t supposed to act like those weird cousins you try to hide from people.
Comment by Wyn on August 29, 2010 at 7:23 am
Funny, when I read that, my cousin was standing next to me….saying something weird….
Comment by Elizabeth on August 29, 2010 at 10:33 am
Kidding, everyone… I was only kidding. Of course, I’ll welcome the new 7th graders. And I wonder what your cousin thinks of YOU, Wyn!
