Who Am I?
I teach a self-contained 6th grade at Lindbergh Schweitzer Elementary School.

What are your hobbies?

 * Activities with my two young children (zoo, biking, swimming, etc.)
 * Reading mystery novels (Patricia Cornwell, Jeffery Deaver, etc.)
 * Playing around online - currently looking at blogs and social network sites for teachers
 * Planning for next year (you never really stop being a teacher, even during the summer)

Wiki Thoughts
Every student could have a page where we upload video and audio of them through the year. Create online stories for younger children to read/listen/follow along. Pages where students can comment and discuss current popular topics (last year the Twilight series was hot). Students work on independent interest topics (physics of skateboarding, gaming tips and techniques, etc.)
 * Writing samples
 * Oral Reading
 * Poetry
 * Explaining a math/science concept
