Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI loved finding out that we were first runner up for the best class blog. Also being in the movie was fun, and I'll probably come back and see this post when I'm much older. It will be fun to remember what happened in my past, and this will be one of the biggest things that happened in my childhood.
Sincerely,
Ben
Mr Yollis and Class.
ReplyDeleteFirstly I want to congratulate you on the 'First Runners Up/Second Best Blog in the World' this is an amazing result.
Secondly this Video has made my day, the acting was top notch and I was really thrilled when Panda became involved as well. Brilliant, well done and congratulations. Here's to first place next year for you!

ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!! That is fantastic news and I am very happy for your class!
I LOVED your video! You all looked like professional actors!!
I am going to check out the Edublogs award now to find out who came first! I am surprised that Mrs Yollis' Class blog did not come first!

Dear Mrs. Yollis' Class,
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to learn that your blog was first runner up for the best class blog. What a wonderful recognition, and extremely well deserved. Your class video and dance celebrating the news warmed my heart. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and New Year, and I look forward to reading your new blog postings in the New Year.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lofton

P.S. I will be sharing your wonderful recognition with my own students.
Dear Mrs.Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI loved the end of the movie. I wonder if Mr.B would like it. I liked that everyone started to dance at the same time.
Your Student,

Bravo on your international award, Mrs. Yollis and class. Thank you for providing such inspiring work for us all to see.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to all!

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI really love this post better than the others! I just realized that watching is better than being in it. What did it feel like to you when you were acting?
Your blogging buddy,
Kayla
@Kayla,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed watching our movie too! You can feel how happy everyone was with the news. (By the way, I loved your dancing!)
You asked me how I felt when I was acting. I did feel a little nervous because the camera was recording, and I didn't want to make a mistake. But, like always, I took a deeeeeep breath in through my nose and let it sloooooowly out through my mouth, and I felt calm and ready to act. Also, I really did feel happy about the results, so it wasn't too difficult to act that way.
Have a great vacation!
:-)
Mrs. Yollis
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWhen I found out that we were first runner up I was so excited. Then I became a little embarrassed when I spoke on camera. I am very proud to be part of our classroom blog. Wishing everybody a very happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Sydney
@ Sydney,
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a nice comment! I think most people feel nervous when they are speaking or acting. That's human nature. As I watched your performance, you didn't look nervous at all. You were going for it!
I'm proud to be part of this blog, too.
Have a Happy New Year and say hi to your brothers, my former students! :-)
Love,
Mrs. Yollis
Mrs. Yollis' Class,

Happy New Year!

Dear Mrs. Yollis and 3rd graders,
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I must congratulate you on your recognition by Edublog. Your blog definitely deserved "Best Class Blog--First Runner-up" or higher!! I was so excited when I saw the news that I tweeted it for all those who follow me on Twitter!!
Secondly, I do want to thank you for a delightful visit. I was one of the lucky coach/mentors who had the chance to see your class in action.
Thank you for giving me that opportunity. I am so inspired by all of you.
Again, congratulations on your well-deserved award!!
Sincerely,

@ Kira,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comments about our award. We are over the moon about it!
I was delighted to add your student blog, Kira's Kafe, to our blogroll. You always have outstanding writing and obviously make an effort to proofread everything you publish. Your use of images to enhance a story is also quite good. Kira, your blog is a fantastic model for other students, and I hope you continue to write. I added you to my RSS feed, so I can follow your progress. :-)
Happy New Year!
Mrs. Yollis
Hooray for Mrs. Yollis' Class! Congratulations on your Edublog award. I loved watching your video, you guys rock! The world is proud of you :D
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. Yollis' Class,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being the first runner up for the best class blog! Receiving 295 votes is a very big achievement. I have two questions that I hope someone from your class can answer. First, how many more votes did the first place blog get than yours? Second, next to the number of votes, the result table says 17%. What does that number mean?
Congratulations to all of you and keep up the outstanding work!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting our blog and for leaving a fabulous comment! I love that you challenged the group with two math questions from the Edublog Awards data! (I told you that you were a natural teacher! :-)
My class is out on Winter Break until January 4, but maybe someone will answer while on vacation. If not, we will definitely get the answers posted in 2010.
Hope you are doing well and are enjoying some holiday time yourself! Say hi to your family!
Your friend and former teacher,

Dear Mrs. Yollis' class,

Dear Mrs. Yollis' class,
ReplyDeleteWe just watched your awesome video and we loved it! The acting was excellent. A few of the students even have some of the lines memorized because they have watched it so many times.
Panda did a great job celebrating with you, and there are some very talented dancers in your class.
Some of us couldn't help dancing along because it looked like so much fun. Someday we will make a video of our dancing so that you can see our moves.
Great job!

Mr. Salsich's Class
@ Mr. Salsich and class,
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for a boatload of super comments! It is always great to hear from our dear friends in Connecticut.
I saw on the news that there was a big snow storm over the weekend. Hope everyone is not getting too cold. I guess it will be a true White Christmas for all of you!
Thanks for your continued support!

Your friend,

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful comment back to me. You said that I did NOT look nervous, but I was so nervous! The most embarrassing thing was when I said "No way". Merry Christmas!
From,
Sydney
P.S. My brothers loved the hello from you.( Your Former students.)
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI loved to her that we were the first runner up last year ( not to mention now!)
I found out which blog won. The blog is called "I Learn Technology". The "I" in the title is lowercase! This occurred when I was playing on Kerpoof. I didn't know how to title a picture, so I went on Google and looked it up. While I was looking at the links, I saw the blog name and the link said it would give you info on Kerpoof,so I clicked on it and there was the blog that won!
From,
Richie
P.S. Can you beleive I found the blog that won?
