We we...@ Amy,<br /><br />Thank you for such a great comment!<br /><br />We were on the map today and were looking at countries. The biggest countries are Canada, the United States, and Mexico. We could fit twenty-seven students plus Mrs. Yollis in each. We even all got inside Greenland. <br /><br />It was fun finding the Panama Canal on the map. Did you know that you can get through the canal on a boat? You will get from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Sea.<br /><br />What province do you live in, and what is it like? <br /><br />How do you like Canada?<br /><br />From,<br />Emily F and ArchieEmily F. and Archienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-46457285967959569472019-10-16T18:56:22.795-07:002019-10-16T18:56:22.795-07:00Hi Mrs. Yollis!

Mrs. Yollis helped us research Kenya using Britannica, an online encyclopedia. We learned that you border the Indian Ocean, and we learned that many people from Kenya speak English and Swahili. How do you say hello and goodbye in Swahili? What do you call a person from Kenya? We are from California, so we call ourselves Californians. <br /><br />We will have more questions for you later today!<br /><br /><br />From,<br />Emily E., Eden, Elijah, and EvanEmily E.

I did to go to Walt Disney World 2 times as a kid, and had a blast. If I can remember- it seems like I enjoyed Disney World better than our local, Disneyland. For my family- I'd have to say we like Hawaii the best. I've been to 3 of the islands, and enjoy the North Shore of Oahu the most. Has anyone else been to Hawaii? If so- do you have a favorite island or activity in Hawaii?Jason (Ivy's Dad)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-52720748177336968762019-10-13T11:29:36.982-07:002019-10-13T11:29:36.982-07:00@ Cade,

The rides were fun and very different than Disneyland. The Slinky Roller Coaster was so much fun. After I went on it, I wanted to go on it again. Unfortunately, the line was too long.<br /><br />Have you ever been to Walt Disney World?<br /><br />Your blogging buddy,<br />Emily E. <br /><br /><br />Emily E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-2044981900051033962019-10-08T17:18:35.411-07:002019-10-08T17:18:35.411-07:00@Veronica, Jodie and Dr. Hagle

Here is a fact about Guatemala. The capital of Guatemala is Guatemala City.<br /><br />Jodie, I would also like to visit Texas!

What a great firs...Dear Mrs. Yollis' students,<br /><br />What a great first post for the Student Blogging Challenge! As your blogging mentors, we think your post is amazing! :-)<br /><br />We have some questions for you. Veronica wants to know about rivers. What is the fastest flowing river in the United States? <br /><br />Dr. Hagle is curious about North American countries. Other than Canada and Mexico, which other country would you like to visit? Tell us a fact about that country using Britannica.<br /><br />Jodie Bloom wants to know which STATE you would most like to visit and why? She ♥ Texas because it is the largest state of the contiguous (kon - <b>tig</b>-yoo- us) 48. Contiguous means the states that are connect, not counting Alaska or Hawaii.<br /><br />Dr. Hagle was in Montreal, Canada this summer. It is in the province of Quebec and many people were speaking French. Do you know why?<br /><br />Your blogging mentors,<br />Veronica Pink, Dr. Hagle, and Jodie Bloom <br /><br />Dr. Hagle, Jodie Bloom & Veronica Pinknoreply@blogger.com
