Blog in Arabic?

It is a snow day for Mexico. Unfortunately, my students were going to be working in the lab, the same lab which is becoming next to impossible to get a sign-up time for. When we go back on Monday, the teacher that had their students signed up will not want to relinquish their precious time slot, either, so mine will miss out. The activity I had planned for today in the lab involved researching various web sites and writing a miniature research report on the ecological concerns scientists have concerning the Dead Sea. We began our unit on the Middle East on Monday, and my students have been captivated with the Dead Sea, how the salt content is so high that people can float in it, and nothing can live in it. I am sad today was a snow day because I am really getting into taking anecdotals now for my action research paper on Multiple Intelligences, and today's activity perfectly suited my students with a strong naturalistic intelligence. Activities of this particular intelligence are hard to come by. All of this further confirms that I have to do EMINTS next year! So I can have my own computers!
