Upcoming Concert
Good news fellow bloggers and blog followers. The long anticipated concert is coming up. Sadly not the Iron Maiden cover show that you've all heard about but a tribute to 80's glam rock. The concert will be sometime in the next month or so. We need to practice first to figure out where we are musically. I'll keep you posted.

Social Studies Blogs
http://reitzhistory.blogspot.com/
I thought this one was cool because it was history about the school this teacher was teaching at. Students can look at this as a form of there text for this unit, if that is what they are learning about. This could potentially, if done right, eliminate some of the need for pricey textbooks. A teacher can make his/her own text. This one has cool primary sources about the students' own high school. I had never thought of a blog that way before.

This blog is geared more toward teachers. It has great ideas on how to teach subjects. It shares materials and lesson plans and even points out some really great media items such as videos that a classroom might enjoy looking at. It also suggests online study groups for your students. This might even be the blog itself. Teaching is overwhelming sometimes, especially for new teachers. This gives you ideas so you aren't reinventing the wheel so to speak.

This is another blog for social studies teachers. It's m=funny but there was a small section where this blogger wrote a little poem to, what sounded to me, was to psyche out any other teacher that might be reading the blog. He/she wants to pump teachers up for the school year. Again this gives links for maps and documents that would be potentially helpful in the classroom and ideas for teaching it. As well as cool old photos.
The two RSS blogs I am following are http://www.besthistorysites.net/index.php/19-about/79-welcome and
