Seventh Carnival of Educators, Lost in time

Welcome to the December 8, 2009 edition of carnival of educators.  As today is December 9th, it is clear that I have lost track of time. 

It is so easy to lose track of time when you are homeschooling as it is so easy to go off of a Monday through Friday Schedule.  I find myself constantly asking my worker-bee husband what day it is, because when you are living and learning, it really doesn't matter... unless you miss a due date like I did with a carnival.  But if I had some volunteers for hosts (hint, hint) it would be less likely to happen. 

And so I present to you the Seventh Carnival of Educators, Lost in time edition. There's no rhyme or reason to order, or time space continuum in this blog post but it's all good reading so enjoy!

Joanne Jacobs explores the twilight series and its place in literature and presents Confessions of a Twilight-loving teacher posted at Joanne Jacobs.

Dave Johnston points out that low income students and teachers don't agree on the end purpsoe of school in  Deloitte's High School Disconnect posted at Friends of Dave.

Mathew Needleman presents reasons for using blogging in education in  The Case for Blogging in the Classroom posted at Creating Lifelong Learners.

Mr Teacher shows off his writing prowess and presents http://urbanschoolteacherblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/mr-teacher-times-online.html posted at Mr Teacher.

Carol Richtsmeier imagines a fantasy classroom (in a jar) and presents A Little Dab Should Do You posted at Bellringers.

Annette Berlin presents Free Online Picture Books posted at Stuff With A Purpose, saying, "Dozens of wonderful, full color picture books, make a great educational resource for children."


Rachel Lynette makes the classroom more homey and presents The Creative Classroom - Your Class Library | Minds in Bloom posted at Minds in Bloom.

Wendy Piersall presents Christmas Math Worksheets posted at Classroom Jr., saying, "These were hugely popular last year, they have become a Christmas tradition now!"

Deana presents Couponing 101 posted at The Frugal Homeschooling Mom, saying, "This sort-of applies to "teaching" - - I'm a homeschooling mom, and I'm teaching others how to save money with coupons.
That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of
