We've Joined an International Blogging Challenge!



Each week Mrs. Yollis' class will be  participating in a variety

of challenges to help them become better bloggers.

In addition, it will provide opportunities to meet and learn from others. :-)






Here is Challenge #1:

On your class blog, write a post about why students and classes should visit your blog. What will they learn from reading your posts? Are there any skills your class has that they could pass on to other classes and students?




Here are 7 reasons why you might enjoy visiting Mrs. Yollis' Classroom Blog:


1.  Our blog offers useful tutorials!  What are Quadrilaterals?  

2.  We know that plagiarism is WRONG!  What is Plagiarism?

3.  We have interesting travel posts!   Visit China!    Visit the Arctic Circle!  Visit the Pacific Ocean!   Visit Asia!

4.  Maybe you like to sing. We offer sing-a-longs!  The Hello Song!

5.  Do you like movies? The Polygon Movie

6.  Perhaps you like to learn computer code.  Let's Learn Some HTML Code 

7.  We try very hard to always leave 2-point comments!  How to Comment


Hopefully we offer something of interest for you!

Please leave us a comment and let us know where you are from!

  3. @ Mr. Webb (from New Zealand),

    You are correct! How could I leave out Panda! He is a big part of this blog...I'm sure I'll hear a complaint from him soon...

    I was thrilled to see your blog on the list too. Your students are great bloggers and commenters!


    @ Mrs. Cassidy's Class,

    Thank you so much for our FIRST singing comment. We would like to return the song! Thanks for introducing us to Vocaroo!

    Here is your singing comment:

    Mrs. Yollis

  4. @ Mrs Yollis - Yes we enjoyed participating last year as I said, it was a great experience and particularly useful for our extension students! We are trying to educate as many people as we can about New Zealand because people confuse us with Australia all the time.
