Reminder!

Last IRA meeting is on May 26, 2007 at Nikko Hotel, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Maybe we can go out for lunch and invite Dr. Rivera too. Let me know.

It's Over!

Its been a great trip hanging out with all of you guys. Loved looking at your portfolios and the insights to how you put the LiveText together. I am looking forward to including all of your thoughts and ideas for lesson plans during summer session. Thank you for the many help, and I look forward to working with you all again.

Horray!!! It's relax time!!!

Finally, this day has come! We have been waiting for this day. Everybody, breathe! HAAAaaay!!! Thank goodness. Just want to let you all know that I had so much fun sharing this class with all of you. I've learned a lot from all of you. Thank you all for sharing your great experiences and ideas. Here's a special butterfly saying goodbye.Have a great summer! I'll miss you all! Hope you'll remember me always. Everytime you see a butterfly, you'll remember me. Goodbye . . .

Last Day!

Breathe in a sigh of relief and say "I did it!" Pat yourselves on the back for surviving Spring 2007 semester of the Graduate class ED 484. I think that I will not touch a computer for a week. I have time now for my students and family. I want to thank everyone for their guidance and educational feedback. I learned a lot through collaborative learning. Dr. Rivera was a great facilitator. I was disappointed that I will not be able to take her again next fall. I really wanted to take another class with her. Her class challenged me into learning. I hope that in the future I will have a class with you all again. If you graduate before me Congratulations and good luck!

Adios My ED 484G Family!

I can't believe today is our last day of class. It seems as if it was just yesterday that we were all asking each other what to do for a particular class activity. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed our final session in ED 484G class. Everyone's portfolio looked wonderful. Your images looked great! Barbara made us all looked great in the L&L Newsletter. Our parttime photographer even made us look good for the press release. By the way, can someone please remember to pay our friend. He didn't seem that demanding because he kept hinting about clocking in for the mere minimum wage. Take care everyone and I hope to see everyone next semester.

last day of class: group hug!

Unfortunately we are not able to print multiple copies of the newsletter. Dr. Rivera will be posting it on the web and we hope it will work out. I'm thankful for everyone's cooperation in submission of articles. I enjoyed doing the layout. I wish we had more time to do it. -- Barbara

Starting with a positive note on the PEA was very heartwarming. Thank you to all of you for saying such lovely things about me. Sometimes we forget what wonderful qualities we have in us until something like this happen. The final activity on story writing is another activity that can be engaging in any classroom. Can’t wait to try this one. Hang in there, it is almost over!
