Welcome to my blog and my first ever post! I chose the title Lady Blog as a play on the lady bug. Whilst I do have the girly squeamish approach to most bugs, I find the lady bug to be happy and cheerful if a bug may be thought of in such a way. It makes you want to hold the little creature in your hand for closer scrutiny, let it walk around your palm without you trying to splat it. I am told that lady bugs are assets for any garden since they consume mealy bugs, aephids and other pests. Who wouldn't want a healthy fertile piece of ground to mold and work with. I hope you see where I am going with this metaphor thing.
For most of my teaching life, I have schooled boys. And for some reason on God's green earth, boys like bugs. Imagine if you will boys (and girls) huddled around a glass jar absorbed by the bugs in a jar. They are engaged, they are collaborating and they are motivated. What more could we ask for in our students' learning experiences? (Actually there is more but we're talking about my blog here). In short, I am actually talking about the conceptualization of my blog, one that I hope will be a healthy garden of thoughts, with happy, cheerful and intellectually enriching posts. Seems a lot to ask of a small blog/bug, but this lady is willing to try. Happy blogging everybody.
