Today is the last blog of the school year.  In a way I am sad because I have really enjoyed reading your thoughts and ideas.  You are smart, intelligent and thoughtful most of the time.  For those of you who have given me "idk" answers, if you don't know WHO DOES?  The purpose of the blog was to get you to think and reason out your own ideas about topics and to help you practice expressing your thoughts in writing.  You did a great job keeping it school appropriate and that did not go unnoticed by the administration.  Thank you for all you have given me this school year.  I wish each of you success and prosperity.  Believe me when I tell you, I have never nagged you for my own benefit.  I have come to love each of you in a special way.  I will miss reading what you have to say and seeing your face each day in class.

I know some of you hate blogging.  Though I am not sure why because you always seem willing to express your opinion verbally.  I hope that many of you will keep journaling in some forum even if you don't do it in a public forum.  Journaling is a very effective technique to keep your own thoughts organized and to reduce the stress in your life.

I would like to especially thank the readers of the blog who are not members of my class.  Your support has been amazing.  When you post to our blog, often it sparks great discussions in class.  Your ideas for blogs have kept me going when I couldn't think of anything more to ask.  Thank you for sharing your wisdom with all of us.

Today's blog:  What have you learned by blogging?  How has blogging benefited you?  Be specific.

Blogging is a good way as everyone else said to express feelings and answer questions that I'm not usually asked. I have learned that everyones opinion matters.

I really enjoyed blogging in this class. I like to express my opinion in this class because you act like you really cared! I will miss this and also this is one of the most things I will miss! I am so sad know that we are graduating there are soo many people who I will never see again! This year had been great I don't regret any minute of it!

blogging has allowed me to have different outlooks on every type of situation in life. it helps me to express the way i feel and also understand how other feel on a subject. It benefits me because now i have a positive outlook on almost everything now.

As some of you may have realized, I can be somewhat verbose at times. Blogging allows me to say everything I want to say without any interuptions. I love it!!!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your thoughts and ideas and I can't wait to do it again next year!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MS. CURTIS!!!!!!!

I've learned to see things in a different perspective and I understand that not everyone has the same opinions of me. This will help me in the real world when I'm dealing with other people.

Blogging has brought me an outlet and a group of friends I never would have had.
One person I like on here is you.
That you are trying to get kids to think is a great thing. Please do this again next school year so I can see how another group of young minds are thinking.
I do think that the students that really took off on this and read and commented and did not just type IDK were great
