LittleIzumi Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It's not too late! Welcome aboard. I was thinking about posting the blog-tour announcement later today, but maybe I should wait until Friday the 6th to give us more time to gather more bloggers. Now that Icounou has left the boards, I'm not sure if he/she is still good for the guest post about Grade Acceleration, which is too bad. Little Izzumi, I think posting on an older blog is fine. What is your blog address, and what would you like your title to be? http://dancing-with-dragons.blogspot.com/ Hrm. If you're delaying the announcement I'd appreciate the extra time to come up with a snazzy name, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aly9712 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 So I'm assuming we're holding off on the announcement? Just let me know me either way :) Sounds like the concensus would appreciate any extra time. Aly in Va. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runningmom80 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 What's the full address of childhoodinspired.com? http://www.childhoodinspired.com Although, I'm wondering if I can be a complete spaz and change my topic? There is just so little science on the food allergy/giftedness relationship that I'm afraid it would be a lot of fluff and speculation, which I'm not feeling too great about. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Mine is more on finding a good fit in a program for a gifted/suspected gifted preschooler. Talking to the teacher is part of it, but better to do so up front than to end up in a situation where the teacher is convinced that something is seriously wrong with your child and you're trying to point out that this is NORMAL for a gifted child (been there, done that, ended up with a formal DX of "too gifted to test on our instruments" and a recommendation that we find a new child care provider because DD was literally being bored to tears on a daily basis :) ).

(La Texican posted this on the Davidson forum.) I'm still glad we're doing ours, though. I'm still glad we are doing ours too! Our blog-tour has a bit of a different focus though, since all of the contributors are familiar with the WTM, Classical Education, etc. It will be fun to read both tours. The more people out there having a conversation about gifted issues, the better. I had really scoured the internet before I started organizing ours, and I had also contacted SENG and the person who organized the 2011 Blog tour last year. I never heard back from anyone. That's why it seemed to me that they weren't going to do it after all. I guess I was wrong! Btw, when we announced our blog tour, I posted it on the SENG Facebook page. That was just a few days ago.

La Texican Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I thought ours was the one it was when I saw it on the hoagies facebook page. I made another blog post from their list of topics and volunteered for the same day I volunteered on this one. I don't know if they want mine though because it was about advocacy and working with the school and about the laws, but mine was just about the failed advocacy when I tried to enroll my son into pre-k using early entry last year, which is not available in my state for pre-k. (if you've seen any of my pics you know he was quite ready for pre-k last year- the best they'll offer is let him skip kindergarten- next year. This upcoming year he can (and will) go to pre-k. I don't know if they want that post in that other blog tour or not because it only discusses a problem and doesn't discuss a solution. Either way, I have my post written for this one and I have a post written for the other one, if they want it. I'm hoping "the squeaky wheel gets oiled" and by putting these stories out there people start showing a little love for the advanced learners.

They sent back an email saying they like my post (I wrote a second one- it's not the same one I wrote for this tour). I'm just waiting on the next email telling me what to do next. I've never done anything like this and now I'm doing two at once. It feels a silly amount of exciting.

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Just a thought for posters: You might want to consider posting your blog post the night before your day. That way it is up and available for viewers in the morning and for those in earlier time zones. I almost did it last night, but I put off doing it until this morning in case I had a last-minute revelation in the night ( I didn't.) My kids miraculously let me sleep in until 9am today and when I went on my blog to post the Blog Tour submission I already had a lot of views who didn't have anything to read.

Greenmama2 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Just a thought for posters: You might want to consider posting your blog post the night before your day. That way it is up and available for viewers in the morning and for those in earlier time zones. I almost did it last night, but I put off doing it until this morning in case I had a last-minute revelation in the night ( I didn't.) My kids miraculously let me sleep in until 9am today and when I went on my blog to post the Blog Tour submission I already had a lot of views who didn't have anything to read. Yes please! I wondered two days ago why nobody had posted, then I realised it wasn't quite the 15th there yet :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I've actually got mine up already, but I'm not publicizing it until Thursday. That way, I don't have to deal with it before running to teach music camp Thursday AM and time zones won't be an issue, and I have a day or two to re-read and change before anyone is likely to look at it.

Uff Da! Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have enjoyed reading all of these thus far. Also, I do like the different voices of the writers. It is refreshing to have a mix of formal, informal and even a bit of poetry. Thank you to all the participants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just added my post to my blog. Almost forgot...we are away at music camp. I had typed it up ahead of time knowing I would be away and then just posted it and there appears to be a bit of a technical problem with the font on the right running into the stuff in the sidebar. Sorry about that. Tried to fix it because it's annoying me but can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Texican Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I thought that was a glitch in my phone browser. It did make it where I could only skim read the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I thought that was a glitch in my phone browser. It did make it where I could only skim read the article. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix that, I'd be happy to try again. I tried adding in spaces to cut each line shorter and changing font type and size but nothing has worked. It hasn't ever done that on any of my other posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
