Tonight we start our first class on studying the realm of glass and ceramics in West Virginia. I am excited about this project because it is an extention of two previous projects we have done. I have learned from those projects that there really is a lot about West Virginia and the industries that make up our economic background. You would think that I would have a depth of knowledge about the glass making industry being that I have lived in Milton my entire life and it is the home to Blenko Glass Company that makes hand blown treasures. But, alas, I am very ignorant and have only been to the Blenko visitor center less than 10 times my entire life. And some of those times I only went out around the pond to watch the ducks!
Anyway, I'm hoping to gain a new insight to another part of the history of my state so that I will be able to teach the future residents of West Virginia how truly wild and WONDERFUL our state really is.

I am looking forward to reading your perspectives on how this can be put into place in your classroom.
