Mrs. Yollis and her students ♥ to share what they are learning and experiencing. In an effort to include more family members in our online community, we are proclaiming:
November is Family Blogging Month!
Each student made a list of their family members.
After looking through the archive of our class blog and our Yollis 365 blog, students selected specific posts tailored to the interest of a particular relative. Selecting a good post for mom and dad, another for grandma.
A dog post is a great one for siblings!
We're inviting everyone to comment: moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
We welcome friends, too!
Students will be inviting their family and friends to participate in a conversation!
Maybe we'll get some 2-point comments!
(We frequently evaluate the comments that our blog has received. In order to earn the 2-points, a comment must be error-free and add something to the post. Many of Mrs. Yollis' third graders have already met the challenge!)
If you don't know what to say, here is a video made by Mrs. Yollis' third graders.
If you don't know How to leave a comment, here is a video tutorial about HOW to leave a comment on our blog.
How do you get comments typed and published?
Here is a video made by my students explaining how:

Sincerely,
Mrs. Y♥llis' students
I am looking forward to FBM also. My big sister Lucy is away at college, but she said she will be blogging with us this month. She even said she was going to invite some of her sorority sisters who I know to join in the fun with us!

Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for FBM because I would like to know what my older brother, who is on a class trip to Catalina, did for 3 days. Have you ever been to Catalina before?
Sincerely,
Kate
@ Kate,
DeleteFunny you should ask. Ivy and I just went to Catalina about 1 month ago. We went with our Trailblazers group through the Y, and spent 3 days and 2 nights there. The highlight was snorkling and seeing lots of fish. The lowlight was that a great white shark took a big chunk out of one of the scuba divers' kayaks!
Has anyone else gone snorkling?

@ Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI did research about Australia and North America and I found some similarities between the two countries. The first one is they both speak English. The second one is both use $ dollar as their currency. One difference is Australia and North America have opposite seasons, meaning if it is Winter in North America, it's summer in Australia.
From your student,
Kasra
Dear Mrs. Yollis' Class,
ReplyDeleteI am very excited for FBM. This is my second time being able to participate because one of Isla's older brothers had Mrs. Yollis when he was in 3rd grade.
I love reading all of the comments and being a part of the class; even though I've already passed 3rd grade...hahaha.
I can't wait to follow the class blog throughout the year.
What excites you most about FBM?
Isla's Mom
@Ivy's Dad
ReplyDeleteMy brother is going snorkling there. I hope he doesn't get bit by a great white shark. I will know more about his trip tomorrow when he gets home.
Has anyone else ever seen a great white shark?
Sincerely,
Kate
