Eighth graders wrote a blog post a day last week and then made an index to share them. Below you will find links to their indices.

I’ve seen the word meme, but I never knew what it was. Today our class was tagged to participate in a meme for the blogging challenge, so I went to Wikipedia and found out a meme is a replicator of ideas. “The concept comes from an analogy: as genes transmit biological information, memes can be said to transmit ideas and belief information.” (Wikipedia)
OK, so we are going to spread this meme around the world. Our ideas are about personal pride. Here is the meme theme. (Hey, that’s a terse verse.)
Describe one of the things you have done in life, that makes you glow with pride.
Many wonderful things in my life bring me pride–my long happy marriage, my two delightful children, and my teaching career are some of them. However, today the one thing I’ve done in life that makes me glow with pride is that I graduated from college. I went to a state university in California. I lived at home and worked so I could pay my way through college. I have six brothers and sisters, and I was the first one to get a Bachelor’s degree. That’s one of the things that makes me glow with pride.
Now it’s your turn. What are you proud of? Some of my students will be writing blog posts about what they are proud of, and we are tagging these teachers and classes to join the meme.
What is one thing you are glowingly proud of? Miss Trask and class, Ms. Chesebro and class, Mr. Heinrichs and class, Ms. Edwards and students, Mrs. Allen and classes, and Mrs. Wilson and class.

I know many of you can relate to the message in the rebus above! A fellow student challenger’s post inspired me. Michaela’s picture sentence made me think of a site that makes cool rebus puzzles.
Try making your own and other cool word art at festisite.com. The name for this fun site can be hard to remember, but I usually think of the word festival, which means a celebration or party. Then I can remember the name, for this site is a festival of word art!
Try all the fun stuff, but here are directions for using the rebus maker. When you first go to the site, you’ll see this menu bar. Scroll over with the right arrow.
Next, choose Text Layout and Rebus:
Delete the default message.
Add your own message and click on “Layout Text.”
Your rebus comes up on a new screen…
Here is another one for you to try. Click on it to make it larger.
Visit a Glogster about Festisite.com for more fun!

Bienvenue dans Blogs classe de Krebs. La fille de Mme Krebs est d’apprendre à parler français, alors elle lui a demandé de vérifier l’exactitude de la traduction Google dans ce blog.
Un garçon dont le blog que nous avons visités, Harrison, est né au Québec et il a compté jusqu’à dix en français, donc je vais utiliser son compte ici, aussi. Zéro, un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix. Nous n’avons pas appris le français dans notre école, mais nous avons un professeur d’espagnol.
This post is for Week 3 Student Challenge.
