I'm especially excited about the reading blog that we will share! having regular blogging buddies is such a fun way to learn and to share ideas.

Happy Blogging!

Dear Mrs Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to a new school year! I hope you are excited to be back and hopefully you all had a wonderful summer break!
For the past two months I have been at school teaching 2KJ! It has been the coldest and wettest Winter here in Victoria (that's the name of our state) so we are glad that it is now spring!
We have our holidays in two and a half weeks.
What was the highlight of your holidays? Perhaps you could come up with a top ten list, we like to do that here.
I hope you all have a fantastic first day back! :)

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteGreat video! Tomorrow morning I will really miss sitting in the boys square and hanging our backpacks up.
I am excited and nervous for fourth grade. Also, I got Mrs. Krauss for fourth grade!

How many kids do you have in your class? Have fun with your new students!
Your former student,

Dear Mrs. Yollis,

During the summer I went to a sleep away camp named Canyon Creek Sports Camp.
I also went to a tennis camp at The Tennis and Swim Center.

Dear Mrs Yollis' class,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
If you have not yet "met" me, my name is Miss McGeady. I teach a grade two class at Leopold Primary School in Victoria, Australia.
My class, 2KM, has been blogging buddies with Mrs Yollis' class since the start of 2009! I think that means you are the third group of students from Mrs Yollis' class that we've collaborated with.
Mrs Yollis and I have been discussing some special projects that your class can work on with 2KM later in the year. I can't wait!
I work in a big double classroom with Miss Jordan and her class is called 2KJ. There are 43 students altogether in 2KM and 2KJ.
While you have been on holidays I have been busy teaching although I did have some exciting news. I got engaged on 29th June and I will be getting married in December!
You guys sure are lucky to have Mrs Yollis as teacher. You will have a wonderful year together!
Hear from you soon,
Your new friend,
Miss McGeady
PS it was good to hear from Nick and Sydney. Will your fourth grade teachers have a blog??
Dear Mrs Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back hope you all have had a wonderful summer holiday.
My name is Bianca and I am in Miss McGeadys grade. I am looking forward to meeting you all.

Dear Mrs Yollis and your new students,
ReplyDeleteIts a big welcome back to you and your new students.
You are all going to have the best year ever for Mrs Yollis is going to open up a wonderful world of learning and friendships from different parts of the globe so do enjoy.
I am AA from Australia and very much live down under. I started to blog last year with Mrs Yollis and her students and really did enjoy the wonderful journey of blogging and friendship which developed.
I am so looking forward to reading all your wonderful post and learning new things together.
Have a wonderful year and happy blogging from your friend down under AA.
Hello Mrs Yollis and your new Grade 3s
ReplyDeleteWe first looked at your blog a couple of months ago, but you all went on summer holiday so we have had to wait to introduce ourselves.
I am Mrs McKenzie from New Zealand and the children in the class are Year 2 and 3 children, which means that some are 6 years old, some are 7 and some are just starting to turn 8.
We hope that we can share some learning conversations with you over the year.
from Mrs McKenzie
Dear Mrs Yollis and your new class,
ReplyDeleteI love the start of the new school year. I especially like opening new school supplies. It is a great chance to have a fresh start. I think that is one of the best things about teaching, every year you can set new goals.
It is always exciting meeting your new class and getting to know them. I look forward to hearing all of the wonderful things you do with your class and meeting some of them through the blog.
It was a great idea to do a video and it gave me a chance to see what you look like! It is funny how it feels like you know someone, even though you have only sent messages on the Internet!
Good luck for the start of the school year. I would love to hear what goals you and your class have for this school year.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited to start a new year in third grade today!
My summer was full of relaxation, as well as adventure. One highlight was hiking in the Sierras over 12,000 feet above sea level! The air was so clean and fresh, and we even had to hike through some snow! Another special highlight was my visit to New York, where I was overjoyed to see my daughter's dance performance!
I look forward to another year of working with you and being your Chaparral blogging buddy!
Your buddy,
Mrs. Ranney
@ Mr. Salsich,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the very nice comment. We hope you have a good class, and we are excited to "meet" you too.
We look forward to learning more things about your blog.
We have some questions:
How many students do you have?
What did you do over the summer?
Are your students good listeners?
How many years have you taught?
We look forward to talking to you again!
From,
Mrs. Yollis' class
@ 2KJ,
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving a great comment! We are just learning how to blog today.
We hope you had a great winter! (We are surprised that it is winter in the southern hemisphere. Many students did not know that.)
We have some question:
How many students do you have?
How many years have you been teaching?
How was your day?
How many students at your school?
We have 610 students at our school.
We look forward to writing to you again!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Yollis' class
@Nick,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked my video!
Yes, I miss you sitting in the boys' square out in front of the room. It takes me a while to get used to the new faces!
How was fourth grade? What is your favorite part about it so far? What are you looking forward to learning?
My summer was fantastic! Check out the June and July posts in the archives.
Have a wonderful year and keep on blogging!
Your pal,
Mrs. Yollis
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteIt was nice meeting you and I'm glad to be in your class. I am the oldest child. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother. I play piano, dance, run, and do gymnastics.
From,
Miriam
Dear Mrs Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply to our comments! I am sure you will all be blogging experts in no time!
Yes it is hard to understand that our two hemispheres have opposite seasons, it is very hard for us to imagine having a Winter Christmas like you do!
You asked a few questions, here are the answers. Miss Jordan has been teaching for 7 years, she started teaching at exactly the same time as Miss McGeady! There are 22 students in 2KJ and we have about 700 students in our whole school. It is the biggest primary school (which means elementary school) in Geelong.
Our day at school yesterday was great! We started making dinosaur dioramas which was fun.
Our topic this term is dinosaurs. Do you have a topic you're learning about?
Have a wonderful day/night!
From 2KJ and Miss Jordan
Dear Mrs Yollis and friends,

@ Sydney,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind compliment about my video!
Wow! You had an action-packed summer! I have some questions for you:
1. Was Canyon Creek Sports Camp in a canyon near a creek?
2. How long did you stay there?
3. Are you going to write about one of the places on your blog? (I hope so!)
Have a great time in fourth grade!
Your blogging buddy,

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI had a great first day at school. I loved being line leader and hope I can be line leader again.
I am so happy you are my teacher because I like to use the computer and I know you do, too. I think blogging is really fun!
I went to Hawaii this summer and swam in the ocean. I also went to New York and saw the Statue of Liberty.
Have you ever been to Hawaii or New York? If yes, what did you see there? If no, would you like to go to Hawaii or New York?
I am so excited to blog with you!
Your Student,

Dear Emily, (from 2KJ)
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad that you took the time to introduce yourself! Yes, we understand that you have been in school while we have been on vacation, or on holiday as they say in Australia.
You asked if we were nervous before school. Yes, many of us felt nervous because it was a new situation, but once we got to know everyone...we felt good. :-)
What kind of dance do you do?
Your friends,
Mrs. Y♥llis' students
Dear Mrs. Yollis,

From your blogger,

Dear Mrs. Yollis' Class,
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for your reply to my comment. You are already blogging on the first day of school, that is very impressive.
This year I have 22 fantastic students in my class. How many students are in your class?
My students are excellent listeners but they are also excellent talkers, so... sometimes they forget to raise their hand before sharing their great ideas. I bet some of you know what that is like :)
This is my fifth year teaching and I love it! As much as I enjoyed summer I was very excited to start school again because we learn so many incredible things together.
This summer I did a lot of surfing, reading, and watercolor painting.
Your blogging buddy,

ReplyDeleteThe first day of school was so much fun!!!
My favorite part was learning about blogs
and playing silent speed ball.
I hope you had a great summer!
I did. My family went to Idaho.
We went paddle boarding and swam
in the lake.
I look forward to being in class with you and
learning more about blogging!
Your student,

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! We are thrilled to be in your class.
We loved your blog about the little hummingbird. He is adorable and he was lucky to have you taking such good care of him.
We see hummingbirds everyday in our backyard. Did you name the "little birdie"?
We look forward to a great year of blogging just as we did when Matthew was in your class!
Warmly,
Shari and Grace
Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI had a amazing 1st day of school!
Where do like to travel? What is your favorite place to travel? What is your favorite subject? My favorite subjects are music, art and reading. I got to go to Alaska this summer with my mimi. We had a great time. I saw Orkas, Humpback Whales, Puffin, Grey Whales, jellyfish, Bald Eagles and Starfish. I also saw the Hubbard Glacier.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteFourth grade is exciting and a lot different. For example, instead of a folder you have a three ring binder and a planer. The planer is similar to your website's homework link, but on paper. I got Mrs. Strong as my fourth grade teacher. In third grade we had 24 kids. In fourth grade we have 33 kids!
I heard you have Niki in your class. He is on my brother Joss's soccer team. (Maybe you'll get Joss in your class next year.)
Sincerely,
Ben (former student)
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to be in your class!
I had fun today getting to know you. I enjoyed watching your video and reading your blog. I can not wait to get my own blog and post some more comments on yours.
I had a wonderful summer! I began the summer with the Variety Show. I also had my cousin visit from Germany and we had a lot of fun together. he brought us presents and he is studying to be a pilot for Lufthansa Airlines. Then, we went to San Diego and Lego Land. Then, I went to the beach with Ryan and Justin, it was a lot of fun. I also went to the Grove and went on the Trolley. My brother and I played Legos almost every single day! I love playing legos! I can build sets for 14 and 15 year olds in a couple of hours.
I also had some music lessons.
I have some questions for you:
How was your summer?
see you tomorrow.

@ AA,
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to leave a wonderful comment.
We just starting learning about blogging.
We are also learning about digits. Digits are the symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. We have also been reviewing even and odd numbers.
Here is a question for you:
Is this number odd or even?
358
We are also wondering, what does it means to be from down under?
Best wishes,
Mrs. Y♥llis' students
Dear Clancy,
ReplyDeleteHow nice it is for you to write on our blog! I hear that you go motor biking. It looks fun. I hope your winter is going well. Mine summer is going great.

@ Mrs Yollis and your new students,
ReplyDeleteIts so great to hear and read you are all of to a wonderful start of your school year.
You are working with numbers which I do like. However I must admit I much rather prefer even numbers than odd numbers .
Now Mrs Yollis you asked me if 358 is odd or even and I would say its an even number. Am I right!
I really also liked the question you asked me about " down under.
Down under refers to Australia because Australia is located below many other countries on the globe.
Its not to bad been down under somehow you tend to get a better view of the rest of the world.
Hope to hear from you again
from your blogging friend down under AA.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWoW!! This is fantastic!! What a great way to teach kids about technology, it's safety issues and get them to share their experience with folks across the globe.
Amitai has had a wonderful couple of days in third grade with you! He is so jazzed to comment on your blog and read everyone's notes. He now has play dates just so they can read & comment on your blog!!!!!
It is so enjoyable as a mother to see these kids so excited about learning. Thank you so much for that!
We are looking forward to a fabulous third grade with you and everyone in your class (& their parents)!
xoxo

@ Mrs Yollis' class,
ReplyDeleteBOY you must be very busy reading all these comments. My class could not believe that you had 80+ comments!!!
Thank you for your kind reply.
My fiance is Nate Morris. So, my name will be Mrs Kathleen Morris. It will be very hard to get used to a new name I think!
Here are the answers to your questions....
Are your students good listeners? I asked 2KM and they said NO but I think they are being too hard on themselves. Usually they are great listeners!
Do you like teaching? I must admit, I ♥ teaching.
What is your favorite subject to teach? I love to teach about technology! I also love to teach integrated studies (I think you call it social studies) because it is so interesting to learn about the world in which we live.
Happy Friday! (our Friday is nearly over)

Dear Mrs.Levy,

Ryan (Mrs.Yollis's student)
Dear Mrs.Y♥llis,
ReplyDeleteI loved my first day of school I am smarter already! I can already tell you are one of my best teachers ever!
Dear Miss McGeady,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I can not believe that we had 80 comments either!
I hope your day went well!
Bye for now,

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI saw you like to fly fish. I was in Utah this summer and caught my first fish. I caught 2 brown spotted trout. I let them go. I had a fun summer. I swam, learned to golf, and rode a horse.

Dear Mrs. Yollis

Dear Mrs.McKenzie and 3rd grade class,
ReplyDeleteHow nice for you to post a comment on our blog. Your students are very lucky to get you as a teacher. My lucky number is 7! I hope you had a great time over break.I did! New Zealand is very far away from Los Angeles.Today we made home aid popsicles!
Here are some questions I want to ask you.
How many students in your class?
What is your favorite subject?
From,
Ryan (Mrs.Y♥llis's student)
Dear Ryan
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to answer to our comment. I think the Welcome Back port will set a record for the most comments generated!
Our class has 20 students in it-12 boys and 8 girls. The children are Year 2 and 3, which means some are 6 years old, some are 7, and some are just starting to turn 8.
In New Zealand we start school on our 5th birthday. What age did you start school at?
Because we have two teachers for our class I teach mainly numeracy, reading and writing, so it's luky that they are my favourites!
The other teacher takes topic, art and PE.
from Mrs McKenzie
Dear Mrs Yollis and students, welcome back to a new school year.I loved the video, what a great way to start the year off. We haven't met you before so we thought we would introduce ourselves. We are Room 3 at Otewa School, a small rural school in the Waikato district of New Zealand. We have just 60 students at our school. While you have been on Summer break we have been enjoying a very wet winter. But tulips and daffodils are out so the warmer weather is on its way. Our class has 25 students aged 9 - 13 and we are looking forward to following your blog as many other teachers have told us how wonderful it is.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteToday my sister and I went to gymnastics. We are on the team, and our class is 4 hours long! One of our coaches, Artur Akopian is famous. He was the first male to get a perfect ten on vault and high bar. I watched him and two girls from our gym, Mattie Larson and Samantha Shapiro, on television, competing at Nationals. He is an amazing coach.

Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI am Miriam's sister. I also go to gymnastics. I will compete next Saturday.

Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting together a blog for the children to comment on. I think it is a fabulous and fun way for the children to practice their typing skills. In one of your posts you mention that the students can reply to another person's blog. I don't see it as an option. Can you please explain how to reply to someone's blog directly.
Have a great labor day holiday,
Best,
Victoria (Miriam's Mom)

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteToday I went to the beach and spent the day with my granparents. At the beach we went bike riding. We rode from Santa Monica to Vennice and back, in one line. My sister Sarah led the way. Then I went, followed by my little brother Michael, and father. At the end, rode my little sister Hannah and mother. We all had a great time.
I hope you are having a good weekend too.
Miriam
Dear Mr. Salsich,
ReplyDeleteI am Alexa's mom; Alexa is a student in Mrs. Yollis' class. How wonderful that your class and Mrs. Yollis' class can blog together! Alexa and I are looking forward to a wonderful year of learning about your third grade class via this blogging forum.
I wonder how you and Mrs. Yollis plan to create a reading blog. Please share your ideas, it sounds like a wonderful learning opportunity for the third grade classes.
How is the weather in Connecticut? It has been very hot here in California. Alexa and I hope to visit Connecticut one day.
I hope you enjoy this nice long weekend.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThis morning I got up really early. I run on the cross country team and practice started at 8:00 am. I run twice a week. I have a 5k meet on Saturday. I like to run long distance and I have been running with my grandfather since I was little.
After running, I played piano. I play for 1 hour every day. Now I am going to have fun and not do any more work. It is Labor Day!
