Thank you for replyin...Dear Mrs. Yollis and class,<br /><br />Thank you for replying to our comment. We have enjoyed your blog. <br /><br />We have a few questions.<br /> 1. How did you get started blogging?<br /> 2. Do you have special permission from parents for their children to blog and post pictures?<br /> 3. How do you find the time for blogging?<br /><br />We tried to post a picture of our class but were unable to do so. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your help!<br /><br />Mrs. Adair and classMrs. Adair's Classhttp://www.harding.edunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-21453846587189730462012-02-21T10:12:13.658-08:002012-02-21T10:12:13.658-08:00Dear Mrs. Adair and class,
Thank you for your kin...Dear Mrs. Adair and class,<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words about our blog and our Valentine's Day song. We had a lot of fun learning and recording it. It's nice because we can listen to it over and over and sing along, too!<br /><br />My favorite part about blogging is that it provides an authentic place for reading and writing. The students must read the posts or comments in order to comment back in a quality way. The constant practice makes for excellent writers! Just read the comments above if you don't believe me! :-) <br /><br />Kelly, who is standing right here with me, likes blogging because she gets to connect with people all over the world. For example, today we are skyping with our blogging buddies 4KM and 4KJ in Australia. That's awesome!<br /><br />Leila, who is also here with me, likes planning new posts. She has earned her own blog and has become a great writer. Right now she is planning a post about cooking with her mother. Yum!<br /><br />Let us know if you have any other questions!<br /><br />Happy Blogging!<br /><br />Mrs. Y♥llisMrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-57694434267580458942012-02-21T10:01:15.143-08:002012-02-21T10:01:15.143-08:00Dear Mrs. Yollis and Class,

We are all studying to be teachers and are beginning to blog in our university class. Your blogging tips have been helpful to us. <br /><br />Our favorite part about blogging is connecting with people like you. We were inspired by your song and may use it in our own classrooms in the future. <br /><br />What is your favorite part about blogging?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Mrs. Adair's Class<br />Harding University<br />Searcy, ARAmy Adairhttp://www.harding.edunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-16643555488502349632012-02-20T20:22:33.117-08:002012-02-20T20:22:33.117-08:00hi grade threes,

Thanks for your reply.
One idea...Hi ◲♒◮R♔yce◮♒◲,<br /><br />Thanks for your reply. <br /><br />One idea I like about the concept of Valentine's is it's a way to say, "I care."<br />There need only be a small gift or even a kind word to let others know they're important and worth knowing. The gift of a heart is a great idea.<br /><br />Tessellations are fun. After reading your reply, I had some Photoshop fun with a tessellation using triangles and hexagons. If you can, have a look at the following picture...<br /><br />http://twitpic.com/8loqcq<br /><br />Notice... <br /><br />1) ...how triangles of the same color only touch at the corners.<br />2) ...the triangles on opposite sides of the hexagon are different colors.<br />3) ...there are eighteen triangles around each hexagon. Triangles have 3 sides and hexagons 6... 3x6=18<br /><br />In your tessellation, there is quite a complex pattern. I wonder if it were continued there might be a recurring pattern, i.e the whole of your tessellation would repeat?<br /><br />It would take a very large number of pieces. :)<br /><br />@RossMannell<br />Teacher, NSW, Australiarmannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325881715643049499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-39331163697505892162012-02-18T09:49:09.327-08:002012-02-18T09:49:09.327-08:00@ Sammy,

I would love to keep helping the class learn many songs. When I was young, music education was a very big part of my life and I am happy to share a little of what I learned.

I think you guys will have fun doing these tessellations. You will probably start with squares because they are the most common to tessellate with. I think that the octagon is the best shape to tessellate with because it is easier than other shapes. <br /> <br /> What shape do you think you will use first for making these special patterns?<br /> <br />Sincerely,<br />Acacia<br />P.S Why do you call yourselves 49'ers?Acacianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-81612186511752779082012-02-17T09:16:16.647-08:002012-02-17T09:16:16.647-08:00@ Taylor,

Thank you for leaving a comment! I...@ Ross Mannel,<br /><br />Thank you for leaving a comment! I like that you always leave really <b>long</b> comments on Mrs. Yollis' new posts! <br /><br />This song was very new to me. Before we sung it, I had never heard of it. In my opinion, Mrs. Yollis' idea of the letters spelling <i>love</i> was amazing too! <br /><br />Our fruit medley was completely made of red fruits in honor of Valentine's Day! It had grapes, raspberries, and strawberries. I loved it! Sadly, we do not have fruit day at our school. :-(<br /><br />I was involved in the tessellation in the third to last picture. It is still not finished, and we started it <b>before</b> Valentine's day! I hope we finish it soon. We are trying to use <b>every single wood pattern piece</b> for both of them! I think that will be hard though.<br /><br />For Valentine's Day, I gave a valentine with two chocolate hearts on the back. I had one for everybody, even Mrs. Yollis!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />◲♒◮R♔yce◮♒◲☱⚙☰⚔R♔yce⚔☰⚙☱http://thevoiceofroyce.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-65541044036694769112012-02-17T09:14:29.065-08:002012-02-17T09:14:29.065-08:00Dear Paul and Emma,

We love it!<br /><br />Your story was very funny, and I made a connection to it. About 24 years ago, I lived at home with my parents and our family dog, Vern. I had just started teaching. The students in my third grade class had done a book report and two of the reports involved food. For the book, <i>The Chocolate Touch</i>, the boy had glued little chocolate bars on the cover. For the <i>Popcorn Project,</i> there was pop corn glued on the front. Well, I graded the reports and then set them on the floor in a neat stack. Guess who got in and <i>LOVED</i> the book reports? Vern! Imagine how embarrassed I was to give the book reports back and say, "I'm sorry, my dog ate your report!"<br /><br />Thanks for a wonderful comment!<br /><br />Your fan,<br />Mrs. Y♥llisMrs. Y♥llisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-79504862737002272822012-02-17T08:53:16.411-08:002012-02-17T08:53:16.411-08:00@ Mrs. Morris,
