Influential People Change Our Lives...

As a middle school student, you are around your friends more than your family for most of the day.  The people you are around will have a huge influence on you.  Whether it is a classmate, a coach, a teacher, a musician, or someone at home; I feel it is important to recognize those people who are influencing you.  Take notice of who is impacting you, both good and bad.  For this blog entry, I would like you to write about at least one person who has influenced you in a positive way.  Who is this person and what has he/she done to make you a better person?

Welcome Back

Summer is over and school is back in session. As part of this blog post I want you to look back and tell us something fun that happened this summer, and then I want you to talk about something you are looking forward to in the 2016-2017 school year.  Welcome back!

Technology Today - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly...

Computers have totally changed the world that we live in over the last two decades.  In many ways, the technology that we have at our fingertips has changed the way we do things for the better.  However, in other ways technology has changed things in a way that you might consider negative.  How do you think computers and similar technologies have helped us?  How do you think these same technologies have a negative impact on us?  Construct a response to this that answers both of these questions and then respond to at least two of your classmates.
