This week Miss W wants you to show off your creativity. She is going to suggest some sites you might want to visit. If you know some other sites to show off your artistic talents then tell us about them in a comment and we will add them to the list.

I am a middle school teacher who retired in 2012 but still loves teaching. In my spare time I enjoy tracing my family history and helping others with their genealogy as well as chatting with my friends around the world. But most of all, I enjoy travelling and visiting new places.
I know a blog that is very creative. You should visit it at http://www.mjgds.org/students/briannag. She is one of my classmates.
I wrote a comment on chillibaskets blog.
Dear Miss W,
Thank you so much for mentioning me for Audioboo. I love Audioboo because it’s so easy to record what I’m saying.
I was creative with Curious George, and wrote a post about it.
Oh, and I put lots of favorites on my blogroll.

Miss. W.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this post! My students and I have not had a chance to do this challenge yet but I will definitely be using this post over and over. What a great collection of ways to express creativity.
My favorite thing is that creativity did not mean just drawing or music to you but included a huge variety or areas and ways for students to express themselves. Thank you again!

This one is my favorite! It is really cool and creative! I love it!
I have enjoyed taking part in this challenge. I like to think of myself as very creative. I think that I am creative in my life when I write stories. Once my friends read them, they always ask how did I make them so creative. I do not know how I did. It is just a talent that I was born with. I am very sorry that I cannot post a picture of it, but it is not saved on this computer. I also thought that chillibasket in Ireland’s blog was very creative.
This is what i created. I think that it it a good idea for all people to use to get the brain working.
Here is my site- http://isleoftune.com/?id=267832
