• What is this all about?

  This is our class blog. A blog is an online discussion. Our blog will consist of varied topics posted regularly that the students can respond to. All responses will go to me for approval. This is a private site accessible from our class page. No last names or inappropriate remarks will be posted. The topics will mostly be generated by me, sometimes student suggestions may appear. The post will ask the students to respond to a question or create an explanation. They will also be able to comment about the ideas of their fellow peers. So here is to good typing! Any questions please e-mail me at dan_gallagher@sdst.org

  • First days of summer…
  • Over the Memorial Day weekend,
  • Hockey Fever!!!
  • Summer Movies…
  • Easter Break…

What have you done with your first few days of summer? Slept later, watched more cartoons, read any books, etc.?

Over the Memorial Day weekend, many radio stations were playing the songs of summer. What song reminds you of summer?

During this time of year with the playoffs going on; especially now with how the Flyers have been playing, people like to jump on the band-wagon. They all of a sudden became fans, not the true, die-hard fans. So where are you on the spectrum: don’t like hockey, fan, extreme fan (must wear orange and black)?

This week is usually seen as the kick-off to the summer movie season. Are there any movies that you are really looking forward to this summer? For instance, I can’t wait for Iron Man 2 and the A-Team (movie based on an 80′s TV show).

What are you doing with your Easter Break? Anything fun and exciting? Adventurous and thrilling?

Tell us what you thought of the promos. Did you enjoy the project, why? What would you change, why? Etc.

With the changing of clocks for Day Light Savings and the warmer weather arriving, I ask what have you been doing to enjoy this?

Today, the world’s largest solar powered boat is shown to reporters. This boat is designed to bring attention to how the world is polluted each year by boats carrying passengers or cargo. The deck of this vessel is covered in solar panels which powers this yacht. Unfortunately, this is not built for speed, but it will get you where you are going. This boat will sail around the world starting in 2011. Hopefully it will make it to a port near us such as Philadelphia or Baltimore so people around here can see it. The two men that will make the ground (or should I say water) breaking voyage said,

“Today, the boat is the most used means of transport of goods,” the team writes. “It represents single-handedly almost 1.4 billions of tons of carbon dioxide (in 2008), that is 6% of the total carbon dioxide emissions and twice more than the air transport.”

Would you want to travel in this?

I just heard last night that they are making a Diary of a Whimpy Kid movie. Lately, I have been displeased with the movies based on children’s stories. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, for instance, was not at all like the book except for the concept of raining food. I wonder what this latest movie will be like. Will it stay true to the story, or will they take the movie in a different direction than the book.

The Olympics start this weekend and I wanted to know if you were an athlete competing this winter what event would you compete in?
