Shout Outs!

Our blogging program is well underway and we are now into our second week of GLPS.  All teachers and TAs are very impressed with our many excellent students.  Some of you have blogged before and some of you haven't, but it seems all of you are enjoying it and learning a lot.

Reading your blogs has been a lot of fun, and I've seen so many impressive blog posts.  Some wonderful Odes and also some entertaining personal introductions.

Please read Shout Outs written by our 4 wonderful TA's as well:

Won Woo:  He gave Shout Outs to his favorite Odes in elementary classes.  Please read his many reasons why he liked certain ones.  Lot's of good feedback. Also - he has been busy making an Android App for Smartphones.  Won Woo is a genius! GET IT HERE! It's awesome.

Chan Jung:  He gave Shout Outs to his favorite blogs in the middle school class. He asks that you leave comments on his posts as well. : )

Shin Tae:  He gave Shout Outs to his favorite Odes in middle school classes.  He's been doing a lot of reading and commenting, so please thank him!

Jiyoung: Last but not least, Jiyoung, our only girl, has given Shout Outs to her favorite elementary level blogs! Please thank her for reading and commenting!  She has some useful advice to all of you on her blog.

Also, if you have friends in Miss Oakey's class, you can go and visit their blogs and leave comments.  Here are her Shout Outs!

Here are some students that have impressed me in each of my classes.  Keep in mind that there are not ANY DUE DATES in my classes, and you are welcome to complete assignments at your own pace.  GLPS is busy, and you have to learn the art of "time management."  I'm sure many of you will start blogging more actively when you have time.  Here are this week's Shout Outs from me:

In Class 16: 

Hojune Kang has been very very busy posting a lot of interesting stuff. I like how his blog is creative and makes use of many pictures and links in a clear and easy to read format.  Keep it up Hojune! Your blog looks amazing. 

As well, Gyungjae Kim has very quickly produced a first draft of his argumentative essay about Kony 2012.  5 beautiful paragraphs that are easy to read.  I know for certain his final draft will be even better. 

Emily Park has also posted some beautiful posts complete with figure skating pictures and also a very nice Ode about clocks.  Does she love them or hate them?  Go and read and find out.

There are more wonderful blogs I could write about... all of you are doing great.

In Class 15: 

William Ju has been blogging like a machine! He has been attacking the "optional assignments" list like an enraged ninja! Ted Video reviews and even a letter to his younger self.  Keep it up William!

Chae Eun Lee  has also been very busy. I really enjoyed her long and convincing Ode To Teddy Bear, along with a touching poem to her father.  Nice blog Chae Eun!

Dabin Lee has also been busy, getting a lot of comments on her "three things about me." It's great to see so many students commenting on each other's work! Also moms! 

In Class 14:

Eujin Jo has been posting things from many classes - even her wonderful History Presentation! Very interesting stuff.  Great looking blog Uzin!  

Eddie Kim also wrote a very poetic Ode about his hat! I never thought about a hat that way until I read it.  Lots of guys truly love their hats just like girls love their purses.  But a hat can do so much more.  Right? Hmmm. Very creative. 

 Yenny Kim's blog looks nice with a lot of creative formatting.  Good stuff! I like how she made her Ode mysterious like a riddle. 

 In Class 24:

Sal Kim has been blogging and blogging and blogging.  Easy to read and engagingly active - there is a ton of stuff going on in each post.  Great work!

All the odes in this class were fun to read.  Everything from Robin's letter of complaint to Bill Gates  to Sena's apology to her abused Barbies to Suhyun's creative photography and a letter to her hair.... So many great odes in Class 24!  

Note to Class 24:  You guys need to get busy! You had fewer classes last week but you still need to mark your spot as the top class.  The younger classes are making you guys look hmmmmm. :)
