Your blog post was outstanding! I reall...Hi Nolan,<br /><br />Your blog post was outstanding! I really enjoyed reading your narrative about playing football in the freezing temperature with lots of snow in Wisconsin.<br /><br />Having been in the warm house watching you and Troy play that football game, I can truly say that your narrative very accurately depicted this frigid event. Reading what you wrote, I felt like I was viewing in my mind's eye an instant replay of that memorable game. When the Green Bay Packers play football in similar freezing, snowy conditions at Lambeau Field, you can understand why they call it the <b><i>“Frozen Tundra”</i></b>!<br /><br />To answer your question, yes, I have been in very cold weather as I was born, raised, and still live in Wisconsin, which you already know because you come to visit me. Few in Wisconsin really like that level of bone chilling cold but experiencing it makes us all the more appreciative when warmer weather arrives, or when we go to sunny California during winter, whichever event happens first! <br /><br />You also asked about mentoring. When I was in high school, a neighbor asked if I would help her young son who was in elementary school with his homework. He needed a little extra help with Math and writing skills so I agreed to tutor him. In my senior year of high school I was taking my fourth year of Latin when my Latin teacher asked if I would tutor an underclassman in Latin. Though both of these examples are of tutoring, they are also examples of mentoring because not only was I teaching these students something I already knew but hopefully also setting a good example of study skills to help them in all of their future classes. Tutoring and mentoring are <b><i>synonymous</i></b>, which means they are two words that have the same or similar meaning.<br /><br />I am so proud of you for being a blogging mentor to the students in Mrs. Yollis’ class. How does mentoring make you feel? What skills have you honed by being a mentor?<br /><br />I’m looking forward to your next visit to Wisconsin in a few weeks. I can guarantee you it will not be 3 degrees and there will be no snow!<br /><br />Happy Blogging!<br />Your Grandma (Barb from Wisconsin)Barbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-62651533317275236622018-05-29T19:03:50.742-07:002018-05-29T19:03:50.742-07:00Dear Mrs. Yollis, Mrs. Hubiak, and class,
Thanks ...Dear Mrs. Yollis, Mrs. Hubiak, and class,<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments! I myself think this was a successful post, along with other great ones I’ve made, such as the Gingerbread Mission by Elie and I.<br /><br />(Here is the link in case:)<br /><br />http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/2017/02/write-your-own-ending-gingerbread.html<br /><br />Anyway, It was great.<br /><br />I enjoy being a mentor and blogger because I get to express what I think with others, and they may give their opinion, and that starts a good conversation. Mentoring is nice because I get to give advice to others, and most importantly, help change their comments to be the best they can be. Trust me, if your comments are at the probably best point, everyone will think something like, “Wow. That is one amazing comment. Also, that’s only a third graders’ comment! Unbelievable! I’ll comment back!” Or something like that.<br /><br />Being a mentor and blogger is great!<br /><br />How would or how do you feel about being a mentor/blogger?<br /><br />Thanks, <br />NolanN♣lannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-67769520432877265672018-05-26T09:08:17.472-07:002018-05-26T09:08:17.472-07:00@ Mrs. Hubiak,
Hi, this is Nolan's Mom,
It&#...@ Mrs. Hubiak,<br /><br />Hi, this is Nolan's Mom,<br /><br />It's nice to read a comment from you in Ohio! Nolan and I are lucky enough to be neighbors with Chloe Sky and her family. We like to help each other out and look after each other's homes when one family is off visiting relatives in the Midwest! <br /><br />I hope you enjoy the warm weather you are having. Is summer your favorite time in Ohio? What is your favorite "sound of summer"?<br /><br />Best,<br />LisaLisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-63769968606132834072018-05-26T07:42:36.980-07:002018-05-26T07:42:36.980-07:00Nolan,
I am impressed with your writing skills. ...Nolan, <br /><br />I am impressed with your writing skills. I am a great aunt of one of the students in Mrs. Yollis' Class. Yes, I have been in below zero weather with the wind chill in the double digits below zero. I live in Akron, Ohio, near the Great Lake Erie. We do not experience the same weather as Wisconsin. We are now experiencing summer weather. The weather report for today is the temp of 85 degrees. It took a long time for winter to leave, but it has finally gone. Spring was short. it lasted about a month with rains and chilly weather. I imagine you are happy to be living in California weather wise.<br /><br />From,<br />Mrs.Hubiak<br />Chloe Sky's Great Aunt<br />Great Aunt Hubiaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-35949368640860639572018-05-24T15:03:46.090-07:002018-05-24T15:03:46.090-07:00Dear Nolan,
Thank you so much for being a stellar...Dear Nolan,<br /><br />Thank you so much for being a stellar mentor from my students. You are not only a fabulous writer, but you are kind and helpful with all you meet. "Quick thinker!" is a phrase I would use to describe you. I remember when we were making our movie and you asked the students what they'd like to blog about. One said school and one said soccer, you quickly chimed in with, "What about playing soccer at school?" You're good!<br /><br />I know you have served as an inspiration for my third graders. They would like to <i>follow in your footsteps</i> (idiom) and serve as a mentor for my class next year.<br /><br />What do you enjoy about blogging or mentoring, or both?<br /><br />Your proud former teacher,<br />Mrs. Y♥llisMrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.com
