...have great websites for ten year olds???
April was on WeeWorld the other day and I decided to look it up on commonsense media (LOVE that site!!) and see what it was rated. Get this?!?!??? It's rated 15 and up! So needless to say, we had to go shopping for a new fun site for her and discovered very quickly that there is little out there that is geared towards children. The teen market seems to grow and grow...but kids as young as four and five are becoming more and more computer literate and there is no available market for them. I will say that your choices seem to be limited to either barbie world or club penguin, both of which make you pay to upgrade your membership to the "fun" level. o.0
All right. Rant over. Update on me...?
Well, the poetry idea was a great one, but didn't last very long. : ) Maybe next year?? Summer is upon us, as is the heat. We kicked off the end of the year with a beautiful "graduation" ceremony with my Ashley going on to high school. I can't believe that I will have kids all over the place-one at daycare, two at my school, and one at high school!! My poor little minivan will surely be getting many, many miles this next school year!
In other news, teaching junior high this year was an exciting adventure that I get to repeat again in a couple of months. I learned A LOT! I think the first thing I learned was that students in junior high seem to have their brains surgically removed and it's not added back until sometime in high school. Also, grading 94 essays...or 94 of anything!!...is hard work!!! ; ) I promise that I will learn how to not procrastinate. Tomorrow. LOL
All right...I feel slightly better that I have written on here. Many lovely thoughts going out to my cyber friends...
